Una Storia Come Questa
Adriano Celentano Lyrics

Mi dicevano gli amici apri gli occhi quella donna non ti sposa per amore...
The singer's friends warn him to be careful with the woman he plans to marry, since they suspect that she only wants to marry him for his money and not for love.

Finge un bene che non prova pensa solo a sistemarsi mi dicevano gli amici...
The woman acts as if she cares about the singer but in reality she only wants to marry him for his money and improve her own social and financial status.

Io con loro mi arrabbiavo, tutti porci li chiamavo e come no......
The singer gets angry with his friends for talking badly about his fiancé and calls them pigs for not understanding his love for her.

Voi parlate per invidia, non vedete che è sincera e anche se...
The artist believes that his friends are jealous and cannot see that his fiancé genuinely loves him, even if their relationship is based, in part, on his wealth.

Anche se lei mi sposasse per i soldi cosa importa a voi...
The artist challenges his friends, asking why it matters to them if his fiancé marries him for his money, since he loves her and is willing to be with her regardless.

Ma cosa avete dentro al cuore, belli amici mi ritrovo voi parlate e non capite...
The singer questions his friends' motives and wonders whether they truly care about him, since they criticize his fiancé without understanding his feelings for her.

Non mi importa del suo amore a me basta che rimanga una vita insieme a me, io l'amo tanto... e l'amerò.
The singer admits that he does not necessarily care whether his fiancé loves him or not, as long as she remains by his side for the rest of their lives, since he loves her deeply and will continue to do so.

Le piacevano i gioielli, le pellicce di visone, le piacevano i regali...
The artist reveals that his fiancé is materialistic and enjoys expensive gifts such as jewelry and fur coats.

Alla lunga i suoi capricci, mi asciugavano le tasche e rimasi senza soldi.....
The artist admits that his fiancé's expensive taste and demands eventually drain him of all his money, leaving him broke.

Lei mi dice cosa aspetti, vuoi mandarmi sulla strada... pensa un pò...
The woman tries to manipulate the artist into giving her more money by threatening to leave him and find someone else who will provide for her.

L'uomo furbo rischia grosso, tenta un colpo e gli va bene, ma però......
The singer reflects that being crafty and taking risks can sometimes pay off but is not always successful or sustainable in the long run.

Mi andò male il colpo gobbo, una ruota in curva mi scoppiò...
The artist acknowledges that his own attempt to cheat or game the system (to get more money for his fiancé) failed miserably and he suffered a setback as a result.

E mentre mi portavan via, c'era un uomo alle sue spalle, si faceva accompagnare, mentre mi portavan via io guardavo le sue mani, che stringevano altre mani, ed al mio pianto... non si voltò.
As the singer is taken away (presumably by the police for his involvement in some kind of criminal activity), he notices another man with his fiancé, holding hands and seemingly consoling her. The man does not acknowledge the singer's cries or pleas for help.

Stare dentro c'è un inferno, uno pensa tante cose, mi prudevano le mani...
The singer describes the experience of being locked up or imprisoned as a kind of hell, where one is forced to confront their own thoughts and emotions. The singer feels restless and anxious in this environment.

Ma il mio cuore traboccava di un amore senza fine e la voleva perdonare...
Despite everything that has happened with his fiancé and his time in prison, the singer's love for her remains strong and he wants to forgive her.

Finalmente sono fuori lei mi dice delinquente, proprio a me.....
After being released from prison, the artist's fiancé calls him a criminal or delinquent, which surprises him and suggests that he has been unjustly labeled as such.

Li per li non c'ho più visto, l'ho afferrata per la gola e sempre più...la stringevo forte e gli occhi suoi sembravano più grandi...
Without a second thought, the artist grabs his fiancé by the throat and tightens his grip, making her eyes appear larger and more frightened.

E mentre mi portavan via, eran bianche le sue mani era fredda la sua pelle, io guardavo e non capivo...
As the singer is taken away (presumably for assaulting his fiancé), he notices that her hands are pale and her skin is cold, indicating that she is scared or traumatized by the encounter. The singer is confused by his own actions and motivations.

Mentre mi portavan via, era mani le sue bianche, era pelle la sua fredda, c'era il treno sulla nebbia...
The singer repeats the previous line but replaces the order of the words, adding the detail of a train in the mist. This repetition and confusion of words and images suggests a sense of disorientation or dissociation.

Mentre mi portavan via, c'era nebbia sulla fredda, era treno la sua bianca, la maestra mi picchiava...
The artist again repeats a previous line but with a different order of words, this time adding the detail of a teacher hitting him. The repetition with variation creates a sense of chaos and instability.

Mentre mi portavan via, mi piacchiava la maestra, treno, pelle, bianca, nebbia...la maestra sulla fredda...
The artist continues to repeat and rearrange the same words, adding the detail of his attraction to the teacher. The combination of words and images becomes surreal and nonsensical.

Mentre mi portavan bianca...
The final line is incomplete and nonsensical, reflecting the artist's state of confusion and disorientation.
