Tiziano Ferro - Indietro

Still addicted to this album... so here's another song I've tried to translate. I'd appreciate if someone checked it. Thanks!

Indietro (Back)

Io voglio regalarti la mia vita
I want to treat you to my life
Chiedo tu cambi tutta la mia vita, ora
I ask that you change all of my life, now
Ti do questa notizia in conclusione
I give you this news in conclusion
Notizia è l’anagramma del mio nome, vedi
"Notizia" is the anagram of my name, you see
So che serve tempo, non lo nego
I know that it needs time, I don't deny it
Anche se in fondo tempo non ce n’è
Even if there's basically no time

Ma se cerco lo vedo
But if I try, I see it
L'amore va veloce
Love goes fast
Tu stai indietro
You stay back
Se cerchi mi vedi
If you try, you see me
Il bene più segreto sfugge
The more secret happiness eludes
All' uomo che non guarda avanti mai
the man that never looks forward

Ricevo il tuo contrordine speciale
I receive your special demand to the contrary
Nemico della logica morale
Enemy of the moral logic
Opposto della fisica normale
Opposite of the normal physics
Geometria degli angoli nascosti nostri
Geometry of our hidden corners
E adesso
And now
Ripenso a quella foto insieme
I recall that photo of us together
Decido che non ti avrei mai perduta, mai perduta
I decide that I have never lost you, never lost you
Perchè ti volevo troppo
Because I wanted you too much
Mi mancano i colpi al cuore
I am lacking the beats of my heart
Quel poco o tanto di dolore
That little or lot of pain
Quell’attitudine di chi ricorda tutto
That aptitude of the one who remembers everything

Ma se guardo lo vedo
But if I look, I see it
Il mondo va veloce e tu vai indietro
The world goes fast and you go back
Se cerchi mi vedi
If you try, you see me
Il bene più segreto sfugge
The more secret happiness eludes
All' uomo che non guarda avanti mai
the man that never looks forward

Dietro le lacrime che mi hai nascosto
Inside the tears that you have hidden from me
E negli spazi di un segreto opposto
And in the spaces of a secret opposite
Resto fermo e ti aspetto da qui
I remain still and I wait for you from here
Non mi è possibile, no non rivederti più
It's not possible for me, no to not see you again
Se lontana non sei stata mai
If you've never been far

Ma se cerco lo vedo
But if I try, I see it
L'amore va veloce
Love goes fast
Tu stai indietro
You stay back
Se cerchi mi vedi
If you try, you see me
Il bene più segreto sfugge
The more secret happiness eludes
All' uomo che non guarda avanti mai
the man that never looks forward

Io voglio regalarti la mia vita
I want to give you my life (as a present)

I think it's the only mistake you made ^_^

Cool, thanks. In English, treating someone to something is the same as giving them something, so I think it's still correct? I was using the wiktionary definition of regalarsi.

treating somebody with something is used when you give something as a reward. I think here he doesn't mean it like that, but like Nereis said he gives his life as a present.

Hmm I don't think it's necessarily a reward. It could just be a kind gesture. "I'm gonna treat you to a nice dinner."

The dictionary defines it like this:

5b. To give (someone or oneself) something pleasurable: treated herself to a day in the country.

Hello...

your translation is not bad... a few things should be corrected... like...

Decido che non ti avrei mai perduta, mai perduta
I decide that I have never lost you, never lost you

I decide (that) I WOULD have never lost you, ...

bye bye from Sicily...

Just in case translations don't do for you, Tiziano has an English version of the song - Breathe Gentle, featuring Kelly Rowland (but I think you knew that)

Yeah but even in that version, my favorite parts are when they sing in Italian

NERIS is 100% right with the translation.

Io voglio regalarti la mia vita
I want to give you my life (as a present)
