Prendi fra le mani la testa/ hold your head in your hands
Due scarpe tu ce l'hai,/ you've got a pair of shoes
due scarpe tu ce l'hai,/ you've got a pair of shoes
puoi andare dove vuoi,/ you can go wherever you want
puoi fare ciò che vuoi,/ you can do whatever you want
perché tu non lo fai?/ why don't you do it?
Perché non te ne vai, perché?/ why don't you walk away, why?
Un cuore tu ce l'hai,/ you've got a heart
un cuore tu ce l'hai,/ you've got a heart
ma pensi troppo ormai,/ but you think too much by now
non sai più quel che fai/ you don't know what you're doing anymore
Non sai più dove vai/ you don't know where you're going anymore
e tutto gira intorno a te./ and everything turns around you
Prendi fra le mani la testa/ hold your head in your hands
e non girerà;/ and you won't feel dizzy
prendi fra le mani la testa/ hold your head in your hands
e non girerà;/ and you won't feel dizzy
Dura poche ore la festa,/ the party lasts only a few hours
dopo finirà…/ then it will end
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Io gli ho detto no/ I've said him no
Ma io gli ho detto no/ but I've said him no
e adesso torno a te/ and now I come back to you
con le miserie mie/ with my miseries
con le speranze nate morte che/ with my stillborn hopes that
io non ho più il coraggio/ I haven't the courage anymore
di dipingere di vita/ to paint with life (means that"he doesn't have the courage to give new life to his stillborn hopes")
a cercar calore un'altra volta/ seeking once again warmth
ancora fra le braccia tue/ again in your arms
scordando il già scordato/ forgetting the already forgotten
color di mille lire./ colour of a1000 lire bill (former italian currency)
Ma io gli ho detto no!/ but I've said him no!
E adesso resta no!/ and now it remains no!
Anche se chi paga di più sei tu/ even if it's you who pays more
dolcissima mia madre - amica - sposa e donna mia,/ sweet mother - friend- wife and my woman
orgoglio e poi/ pride and then
vergogna di me stesso./ ashamed of myself
Ma io non vado via!/ but I'm not leaving!
"-Please tell me you're going to appeal to my humanity..."
"-Actually, I'm planning to threaten you."
"Well, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do. Evil plots don't just make themselves, you know!"
