Come Artisti
Mia Martini Lyrics

Tutti attorno ad un juke box quella scatola coi dischi dentro
We were all gathered around a jukebox, that box with records playing, chewing English behind the grooves

Correvamo noi stare là nei pomeriggi freddi ma l'atmosfera piano si scaldava
We were running to be there in the cold afternoons, but the atmosphere was gradually warming up

Mentre il cielo fuori un po' imbruniva come rabbia
While the sky outside was darkening a bit, filled with anger

Dentro ci esplodeva la nostra bella età noi ribelli come il mare, il vento
Inside of us, our beautiful age was exploding, we were rebellious like the sea, and the wind

Le onde azzurre sopra noi fuoco noi, d'amore accesi un bacio in fretta e tu bastavi
The azure waves above us were like fire, and we were lit up with love. We shared a kiss in a hurry, and you were enough

E con gli occhi a mille stelle appesi noi abbiamo consumato i mesi e gli anni
With our eyes gazing at a thousand stars, we consumed months and years

Quanta polvere negli occhi quanti fuochi accesi e spenti quanti tentativi amore, per ritornare là
So much dust in our eyes, so many fires lit and extinguished, so many attempts at love, just to go back there

Qui la luna ancora il sole insegue ma le fantasie ormai son magre
Here, the moon is still chasing the sun, but our fantasies are now thin

E a conquistare il mio sorriso adesso chi ci si mette più come due fratelli
And now, there's no one left to conquer my smile like two siblings

Al mare, al vento le onde calme, i fischi poi come se fossimo anche artisti ad aspettarci almeno bravi
At the calm sea, with the wind blowing, the waves making a sound, it's like we are artists, waiting to perform well

E si spengono anche i riflettori sulla scena ritorniamo soli come allora il cielo all'imbrunire
And even the lights go out on the stage, we return alone, like we did then, as the sky turns dark

Ma esplosioni non si fan sentire eppure siamo stati noi ribelli come voi
But there are no explosions to be heard, yet we were rebellious like you

Che ridendo ci passate accanto e poi sopra le onde accarezzate il vento con la bella età si vola poi di colpo fuori
You pass us by, laughing, as we touch the wind above the waves, flying with our beautiful age, but suddenly we're gone

Si fa sera ed anche voi sarete stati voi come noi.
Night falls, and you too will have been like us
