Can anyone translate this lyrics for me? Grazie mille!


Biagio Antonacci - Se fosse per sempre


Se l’amor si paga dopo
Noi senza inferno, non resteremo
Se l’amor mi costa questo
non voglio sconti, voglio pagare
Io, innocente mai mai,
invadente mai mai
prigioniero mai mai,
fuori tempo mai mai
Non regalo mai mai,
non ritardo mai mai
Non dipendo mai mai,
non ho pace mai.

E se fosse per sempre, mi stupirei
e se fosse per sempre, ne gioirei
perchè quando mi rubi e mi stacchi dal mondo
sale forte il rumore
e l’amore va in sole

Tra la polvere del mondo
mi son trovato e ho camminato
Nelle mani avevo fiori e tante scuse
per non morire
Tu, disillusa mai mai, esordiente mai mai,
regolare mai mai, indecente mai mai,
non mi perdi mai mai, ma non perdi mai mai
non confessi mai mai, non subisci mai mai

E se fosse per sempre, mi stupirei
e se fosse per sempre, ne gioirei
perchè quando mi rubi e mi stacchi dal mondo
sale forte il rumore dell’amore

Mia divinità a corrente continua,
mia che come te non ne fanno mai più
profumiamo insieme di un’essenza che resta,
cosa vuoi che sia la diversità

E se fosse per sempre mi stupire
e se fosse per sempreeee….

It's not an easy song....any improvements are welcomed.


Biagio Antonacci - Se fosse per sempre / If it were for ever


Se l’amor si paga dopo
If love is paid afterwards
Noi senza inferno, non resteremo
We won't stay out of hell
Se l’amor mi costa questo
If this is what love costs me
non voglio sconti, voglio pagare
I don't want any discounts, I want to pay
Io, innocente mai mai,
Me, innocent never never
invadente mai mai
intrusive, never never
prigioniero mai mai,
a prisoner, never never
fuori tempo mai mai
out of the time limit, never never
Non regalo mai mai,
I make gifts never never
non ritardo mai mai
I am late never never
Non dipendo mai mai,
I don't depend [on anyone] ever ever
non ho pace mai.
I never have my peace.

E se fosse per sempre, mi stupirei
And if it were for ever, I would be surprised
e se fosse per sempre, ne gioirei
and if it were for ever, I would be glad about it
perchè quando mi rubi e mi stacchi dal mondo
because when you steal me away and you detach me from the world
sale forte il rumore
the noise goes very loud
e l’amore va in sole
and love goes into the sun.

Tra la polvere del mondo
Between the dust of the world
mi son trovato e ho camminato
I have found myself and I walked
Nelle mani avevo fiori e tante scuse
I had flowers in my hands and so many excuses
per non morire
not to die
Tu, disillusa mai mai, esordiente mai mai,
You, disillusioned never never, you, a debutante never ever
regolare mai mai, indecente mai mai,
common never never, indecent never never
non mi perdi mai mai, ma non perdi mai mai
you never ever lose me, you never ever lose
non confessi mai mai, non subisci mai mai
you never ever confess, you never ever suffer

E se fosse per sempre, mi stupirei
And if it were for ever, I would be surprised
e se fosse per sempre, ne gioirei
and if it were for ever, I would be glad about it
perchè quando mi rubi e mi stacchi dal mondo
because when you steal me away and you detach me from the world
sale forte il rumore dell’amore
the noise of love gets very loud

Mia divinità a corrente continua,
My direct-current divinity
mia che come te non ne fanno mai più
mine, because they won't ever make another one like you
profumiamo insieme di un’essenza che resta,
let's spread together an essence that stays
cosa vuoi che sia la diversità
what do you want diversity to be

E se fosse per sempre mi stupirei
And if it were for ever, I would be amazed
e se fosse per sempreeee….
and if it were for ever.....

grazie 1000 a te!!!

Prego!

Se fosse : isn't it 'if it could be' ? Because the subjunctive expresses a wish and with 'could be' you express that. But I don't know if i'm right about this

Beside according to my humble opinion it's 'it was' instead of 'it were' in past simple. "Were" is only for "you, we, they".

"Se fosse" here it doesn't really express a wish: he said that he'd be surprised and happy if it'd last forever, so he' not entirely sure about it.
In English you use "was/were" for the simple past but "Were" for the subjunctive, even for the first and third singular persons.

If love is paid Afterwards
We out of hell
will not stay

If This Is What Love costs me
I Do not Want Any discounts
I want to pay

Me

Never ever Innocent
intrusive Never ever
a prisoner Never ever
never ever run out of time

I make gifts Never ever
I am late Never ever
I do not depend [on anyone] Never ever
I never have my peace

And If It were for ever… I would be surprised
And If It Were for ever… I Would Be Glad About It
Because When I steal… I detach myself from the world
Goes very loud the Noise... and love goes into the sun.

Between the dust of the World
I Have Found Myself
and I Walked

I Had flowers in my hands
and I know many excuses
not to die

You

disillusioned Never ever
never ever to debutante
common-Never ever
Never ever indecent

I never ever lose
But never ever lose
never ever confess
Never Ever Suffer

And If It were for ever… I would be surprised
And If It Were for ever… I Would Be Glad About It
Because When I steal… I detach myself from the world
Goes very loud the Noise... and love goes into the sun.

My divinity… direct-current
I like you… They Will not ever make another one like you
let's spread together an essence that stays
what ever you want… from the the diversity

And If It were for ever… I would be surprised
And If It Were for ever…
