Gennaio 2016 Lyrics in English Tiromancino
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gennaio 2016 by Tiromancino from Italian to English.
C'erano le nuvole fisse nel mio cielo
Clouds were stuck in my sky
Mi dimenticavo spesso anche chi ero
I'd often forget even who I was
Non avevo amici a cui aggrapparmi
I had no friends to hang on to
Dentro stanze vuote parlavo coi fantasmi
In empty rooms I talked with ghosts
L'ansia mi svegliava ogni mezz'ora
Anxiety yanked me awake every half hour
Era fil di ferro dentro la mia gola
It felt like barbed wire down my throat
Mi sentivo solo e odiavo la mia voce
I felt alone and hated my own voice
Finché si è accesa quella luce
Till that light suddenly turned on
Eri lì, gennaio del 2016
You were there, January 2016
Tu mi hai portato lei che è ancora qui
You brought me her, and she's still here
Chi se li scorda più quei giorni
Who could ever forget those days
Uscivamo insieme sera dopo sera
We'd go out together night after night
Ad ogni parola cadeva una barriera
Every word knocked down another wall
Ma non era facile nemmeno la sua vita
But her life wasn't easy either
E faticava per trovare una sua strada
She fought hard to find her own way
Anche lei veniva da una storia complicata
She too came out of a messy story
Senza più difese, l'anima spezzata
No defenses left, her soul in pieces
Io l'ho vista piangere, ridere e tremare
I've watched her cry, laugh, and shake
E mi dicevo, 'Io la vorrei sposare'
And I'd say to myself, 'I wanna marry her'
Eri lì, gennaio del 2016
You were there, January 2016
Tu mi hai portato lei che è ancora qui
You brought me her, and she's still here
Chi se li scorda più quei giorni
Who could ever forget those days
Ho fatto un sogno e c'era un lungomare
I dreamed we were walking along the seafront
Io i capelli bianchi, lei un vestito floreale
My hair was white, she had on a floral dress
Ci raccontavamo il primo incontro in quel locale
We were telling the tale of meeting in that bar
Io pensavo, 'Con lei è dolce anche invecchiare'
I thought, 'With her even getting old is sweet'
Eri lì, gennaio del 2016
You were there, January 2016
Il tempo passa e se ne va così
Time passes and drifts away like this
Se torni ci ritrovi ancora qui
If you come back you'll still find us here
Eri lì, gennaio del 2016
You were there, January 2016
Eri lì, gennaio del 2016
You were there, January 2016
