Girasoli a testa in giù
Sunflowers with their heads down
Avviliti come me
Dejected like me
Come posso immaginare
How can I imagine
Tutta la vita senza te
My whole life without you
Per averti
To have you
Farei di tutto
I'd do anything
Tranne perdere la stima di me stesso
Except lose my self-esteem
E se è questo
And if this is it
Che tu mi chiedi
That you ask me
Io ti perdo ma stavolta resto in piedi
I'll lose you but this time I'll stay on my feet
Anche se qui dentro me qualcosa muore
Even if something dies inside me
Sì, per averti, per averti
Yes, to have you, to have you
Farei di tutto
I'd do anything
Ma rinuncio con dolore
But I give up with pain
Sì, per averti, farei di tutto
Yes, to have you, I'd do anything
Ma non ti voglio, non ti voglio
But I don't want you, I don't want you
Senza amore
Without love
Tu due cuori non li hai
You don't have two hearts
E a me non basta la metà
And half isn't enough for me
Se tu scegliere non sai
If you can't choose
Scelgo io che male fa
I'll choose, what's the harm?
Ma senza voglia
But without desire
E senza futuro
And without a future
Vado incontro tutto solo a un cielo nero
I face a black sky all alone
Io non mi vendo
I won't sell myself
Ma sto morendo
But I'm dying
Morsicato da un serpente e senza siero
Bitten by a snake and without serum
Disperato ma però un uomo vero
Desperate but still a real man
Sì, per averti, farei di tutto
Yes, to have you, I'd do anything
Ma non voglio avere un animo più brutto
But I don't want my soul to become uglier
Sì, per averti, farei di tutto
Yes, to have you, I'd do anything
Tranne perdere la stima di me stesso
Except lose my self-esteem
Per averti
To have you
Farei di tutto
I'd do anything
Tranne perdere la stima di me stesso
Except lose my self-esteem
E se è questo
And if this is it
Che tu mi chiedi
That you ask me
Io ti perdo ma stavolta resto in piedi
I'll lose you but this time I'll stay on my feet
Anche se qui dentro me qualcosa muore
Even if something dies inside me
Sì, per averti, per averti
Yes, to have you, to have you
Farei di tutto
I'd do anything
Ma rinuncio con dolore
But I give up with pain
Sì, per averti, farei di tutto
Yes, to have you, I'd do anything
Ma non ti voglio, non ti voglio
But I don't want you, I don't want you
Senza amore
Without love
Sì, per averti, farei di tutto
Yes, to have you, I'd do anything

Morsicato — Bitten
Morsicato means 'bitten', and it's a striking word because it evokes a strong, visceral image. It's not a word you hear every day in casual conversation or many pop songs.
In the context of "Per Averti," Celentano sings, "Morsicato da un serpente e senza siero" (Bitten by a snake and without serum). This powerful metaphor expresses the singer's deep pain and desperation, feeling poisoned by love and without a cure, making it a memorable and emotionally charged word.
