Ana Belen & Lucio Dalla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vas escogiendo del pasado aquellas cosas
Que te apuntalan, que te afirman, que te enrocan
Que te protegen de algunas sombras
Yo tan esclavo como el labio de la boca
Yo tan atado como el niño a su pelota
Tan desarmado como un rey sin su corona
Como una barca sobre las olas
Sin ti me faltaría el alfabeto
Sin ti consigo hacerme tan pequeño
Que si alguien hace así desaparezco
Como un globo de gas que se va al cielo
No sé muy bien si soy el hilo o la cometa
No sé si soy el corazón o la cabeza
Nunca sabré si soy el alma o la materia
Si soy el palo, si soy la vela
Entre los dos nos inventamos lo imperfecto
Con la apariencia de hacer siempre lo correcto
Que sabe nadie lo que nos pasa por dentro
A quién le importa si yo te quiero
Sin ti me faltaría el alfabeto

Non so aspettarti più di tanto
I cannot expect too much from you
Ogni minuto mi dà
Every minute gives me
L'istinto di cucire il tempo
The instinct to sew time
E di portarti di qua
And bring you here
Ho un materasso di parole
I have a mattress of words
Scritte apposta per te
Written just for you
E ti direi spegni la luce
And I would tell you to turn off the light
Che il cielo c'è
Because there's sky
Star lontano da lei non si vive
One cannot live far from her
Stare senza di lei mi uccide
To be without her kills me
Testa dura testa di rapa
Hard-headed, stubborn
Vorrei amarti anche qua
I would like to love you here too
Nel cesso di una discoteca
In the bathroom of a nightclub
O sopra il tavolo di un bar
Or on top of a bar table
O stare nudi in mezzo a un campo
Or be naked in the middle of a field
A sentirsi addosso il vento
Feeling the wind on us
Io non chiedo più di tanto
I don't ask for much
Anche se muoio son contento
Even if I die, I am content
Canzone cercala se puoi
Find the song if you can
Dille che non mi perda mai
Tell her not to lose me
Va' per le strade e tra la gente
Go through the streets and among the people
Diglielo veramente
Tell her truly
Io I miei occhi dai tuoi occhi
I cannot separate my eyes from yours
Non li staccherei mai
I would never detach them
E adesso anzi me li mangio
And now, in fact, I eat them
Tanto tu non lo sai
Since you don't know
Occhi di mare senza scogli
Eyes of a sea without rocks
Il mare sbatte su di me
The sea beats against me
Che ho sempre fatto solo sbagli
Because I have always made mistakes alone
Ma uno sbaglio che cos'è
But what is a mistake
E come lacrime la pioggia
And like tears, the rain
Mi ricorda la sua faccia
Reminds me of her face
Io la vedo in ogni goccia
I see her in every drop
Che mi cade sulla giacca
That falls on my jacket
Canzone trovala se puoi
Find the song if you can
Dille che l'amo e se lo vuoi
Tell her that I love her if you want
Diglielo veramente
Tell her truly
Non può restare indifferente
She cannot remain indifferent
E se rimane indifferente
And if she remains indifferent
Non è lei
It's not her
Star lontano da lei non si vive
One cannot live far from her
Stare senza di lei mi uccide
To be without her kills me
Star lontano da lei non si vive
One cannot live far from her
Stare senza di lei mi uccide
To be without her kills me
