C'est La Vie Lyrics in English by Achille Lauro
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song C'est La Vie by Achille Lauro from Italian to English.
Tu sei Lucifero vestita, sì, con orli e perle
You are Lucifer dressed, yes, with hems and pearls
Tu ti incateni in mezzo al fuoco e dici, 'Viemmi a prende'
You chain yourself in the fire and say, "Come get me"
Il nostro amore delicato è uno zucchero amaro
Our delicate love is a bitter sugar
Che ci vogliamo solo quando poi più non possiamo
That we only want each other when we no longer can
E sto cadendo nel burrone di proposito
And I'm falling into the ravine on purpose
Mi sto gettando dentro al fuoco, dimmi, 'Amore no'
I'm throwing myself into the fire, tell me, "Love, no"
Finiranno anche le fiamme ma il dolore no
Even the flames will end but the pain won't
E non puoi uccidere l'amore, ma l'amore può, yeah
And you can't kill love, but love can, yeah
Capisci
Understand
So che puoi farlo, finiscimi
I know you can do it, finish me
Aspetto la fine, tradiscimi
I await the end, betray me
Poi dimmi, 'È finita', zittiscimi
Then tell me, "It's over," silence me
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
E questa strana fiaba poi che fine ha
And this strange fairy tale, what's its end
È la più grande storia raccontata mai
It's the greatest story ever told
Siamo soli in cento personalità
We're alone in a hundred personalities
Mentiamo promettendo a noi non finirà
We lie promising ourselves it won't end
E sono sempre i miei pensieri rigirati e basta
And they're always just my rehashed thoughts
La nostra storia che continua su pezzi di carta
Our story that continues on pieces of paper
La nostra storia mai finita che non ha una fine
Our never-ending story that has no end
Perché torno come il diavolo a rubare vite, yeah
Because I return like the devil to steal lives, yeah
Capisci
Understand
So che puoi farlo, finiscimi
I know you can do it, finish me
Aspetto la fine, tradiscimi
I await the end, betray me
Poi dimmi, 'È finita', zittiscimi
Then tell me, "It's over," silence me
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
Amore mio lo so
My love, I know it
Come sapessi già
As if I already knew
Profondi vuoti e poi
Deep voids and then
So come finirà
I know how it will end
Capisci
Understand
So che puoi farlo, finiscimi
I know you can do it, finish me
Aspetto la fine, tradiscimi
I await the end, betray me
Poi dimmi, 'È finita', zittiscimi
Then tell me, "It's over," silence me
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
C'est la vie, est la vie
That's life, is life

burrone — ravine / chasm
Burrone translates to "ravine" or "chasm". It's a dramatic and evocative word that paints a vivid picture of a deep, dangerous drop.
In the song, Achille Lauro sings, "E sto cadendo nel burrone di proposito" (And I'm falling into the ravine on purpose). This powerful imagery conveys a sense of intentional self-destruction or a deliberate plunge into a difficult situation, making it a memorable and impactful word choice.
