Perdoni tenente
Pino D'Angiò Lyrics

Perdoni, tenente
The singer is addressing a police officer and asking for forgiveness.

Io l'ho chiamata, forse sa, inutilmente
The singer has tried to call someone without success.

Sono stato via un'ora
The singer has been away for an hour.

M'hanno rubato di tutto, e adesso sono in malora
The artist's belongings have been stolen and now they are in a bad situation.

M'hanno fregato me stesso
The artist feels like they have lost their identity.

M'hanno lasciato lì, nello specchio dell'ingresso
The singer feels like they are no longer themselves and sees a stranger in the mirror.

Quando prima d'uscire
When the singer was getting ready to leave.

Mi sono tolto me stesso di dosso, mi son dovuto vestire
The artist had to put on a facade and leave their true self behind in order to face the world.

(E m'è venuto il sospetto)
The artist starts to suspect something.

(D'esser fregato. Perfetto!)
The artist realizes they have been robbed and finds it ironic.

(Sono finito in malora)
The singer is now in a desperate situation.

Si può resistere ancora
The artist asks whether they can still go on.

M'hanno fregato l'amore
The singer feels like they have lost love.

L'avevo messo lì, giuro, lì nel secondo cassetto
The singer had placed their love in a drawer.

Volevo del sesso, due giorni, non molto, due giorni
The singer seems to have been looking for a way to fulfill their physical desire for a short time.

Lontano dal letto
The artist wanted to be away from their bed to fulfill their desire.

M'hanno fregato la rabbia
The artist feels like they have lost their anger.

L'avevo messa sul terrazzo, sotto la sabbia
The singer had buried their anger under the sand on the terrace.

Aspettando che il vento
Waiting for the wind to come along.

Le togliesse la sabbia di dosso quando era il momento
Hoping that the anger will come to the surface when the time is right.

(E mi è venuto il sospetto)
The artist starts to suspect something.

(D'esser fregato. Perfetto!)
The artist realizes they have been robbed and finds it ironic.

(Sono finito in malora)
The singer is now in a desperate situation.

Si può resistere ancora
The artist asks whether they can still go on.

M'hanno fregato la voglia
The singer feels like they have lost their desire.

L'avevo messa sotto lo zerbino, lì sulla soglia
The singer had put their desire under the doormat, hoping to rediscover it later.

Così quando arrivava lei
When the person they desire arrives.

Non aveva bisogno di cercarla, la calpestava
The artist was hoping that they wouldn't have to work hard to fulfill their desire and that it would be readily available.

E la speranza?
The artist brings up the subject of hope.

Anche quella, sì, era in cucina
The singer had even put their hope in the kitchen.

È una piccola stanza lo so
The kitchen is a small room.

Ma non avevo bisogno dei pendii di una collina
The artist didn't need grandiose things to hold onto hope, just something simple would suffice.

(E mi è venuto il sospetto)
The artist starts to suspect something.

(D'esser fregato. Perfetto!)
The artist realizes they have been robbed and finds it ironic.

(Sono finito in malora)
The singer is now in a desperate situation.

Si può resistere ancora
The artist asks whether they can still go on.
