My Love
Zucchero feat. Eric Clapton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stray cat in a mad dog city
Nine ways to sorrow
A moment's all it takes to say goodbye
I'm waiting

Wild cat in a sad dog story
Nine roads to follow
A moment's all it takes to say goodbye

For all the love that's torn us, for us
For all the pain so sweet
Say you won't, say you won't leave

My love, I'm dreaming of one girl
Someone to make my world
Someone just like you
Oh, my love, the girl that I'm dreamin'
To give me that feeling
Someone just like you, yeah

Lost cat in a dead end story
Nine lines that echo
A moment's all it takes to say goodbye
I'm waiting

Stray cat in a mad dog city
Nine lives to borrow
A moment's all it takes to say goodbye

For all the love before us, for us
For all the pain so sweet
Say you won't, say you won't leave

My love, I'm dreaming of one girl
Someone to make my world
Someone just like you
Oh, my love, the girl that I'm dreamin'
To give me that feeling
Someone just like you, yeah

Whoa oh, whoa oh

Siamo caduti in volo, mio sole
Siamo caduti in volo
Siamo caduti in volo, mio cielo
Siamo caduti in volo

(Baby don't cry, baby don't cry)
(Baby don't cry, baby don't cry)

Gonna paint this town, for you
Turn it upside down
Say you won't, say you won't leave

My love, I'm dreaming of one girl
Someone to make my world
Someone just like you
Oh, my love, the girl that I'm dreamin'
To give me that feeling
Someone just like you, yeah

Oh, my love, I'm dreaming of one girl




Someone to make my world
Someone just like you, yeah

Ho sei cose nella mente
E tu non ci sei più
Mi dispiace
Guardo dentro gli occhi della gente
Cosa cerco non so
Forse un uomo
Hey man
Che cammini come me
Dall'altra parte della strada
Hey man
Che sei solo come me
Dall'altra parte della strada
Canta e passa la malinconia
Se si canta in due
Passa meglio
Hey fratello di una notte d'estate
Ci facciamo un po'
Compagnia
Hey man
Che cammini come me
Dall'altra parte della strada
Hey man
Vieni e canta insieme a me
Da questa parte della strada
Che ci facciamo compagnia
Guardo dentro agli occhi della gente
Cosa cerco lo so
Un altro uomo
Hey fratello di una notte d'estate
Ci facciamo un po'
Compagnia
Hey man
Che cammini come me
Dall'altra parte della strada
Hey man
Vieni e canta insieme a me
Da questa parte della strada
Hey man
Che sei solo come me
Dall'altra parte della strada
Hey man
Vieni e canta insieme a me
Da questa parte della strada
Che ci facciamo compagnia

I have six things on my mind,
and you are not there anymore,
I’m sorry.
I look into the eyes of the people;
what I’m looking for, I don’t know,
maybe a man.
Hey man, you who are walking just like me on the other side of the road.
Hey man, you who are lonely just like me on the other side of the road.

1
Sing a song, and sorrow passes by.
Sing in harmony,
even better.
What d’you say, my friend, some summer night.
Keep me company,
hang together.

2
Hey man, I see you walking just like me
on the far side of the road.
Hey man, come and sing my song with me
on my side of the road.
So that we keep company with each other.

I look into the eyes of the people, (Hey man, don’t you understand?)
what I’m looking for, I don’t know; (I don’t know why)
another man. (I’m gonna miss you. I’m gonna miss you)
Hey, you brother from a summer night, (Hey, man don’t you know)
why don’t we keep company (don’t know why)
with each other a bit? (I’m gonna miss you. I’m gonna miss you)

3
Hey man, you who are walking just like me on the other side of the road.
Hey man, I see you walking just like me
on the far side of the road.
Hey man, you who are lonely just like me, on the other side of the road, singing.
Hey man, come and sing my song.

Sing.
