Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Da Piccolo by Alex Britti from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Da piccolo facevo discorsi a volte strani
When I was a kid, I made sometimes strange speeches
Chiedevo se è normale fare tutto con le mani
I was wondering if it's normal to do everything with your hands
A volte usavo i piedi
Sometimes I used my feet
Prendevo cose in terra
I took things on the ground
Chiedevo fosse giusta tutta questa brutta guerra
I was asking for all this bad war to be right
Popolazioni intere
Whole populations
Spararsi tra di loro
Shooting each other
Per spartirsi quattro campi, una bandiera nuova e l'oro
To share four fields, a new flag and gold
E quindi già da piccolo
And so as a child
Partivano le incertezze
Uncertainties started
E quindi domandavo
And so I was asking
Forse in cerca di carezze
Maybe looking for caresses
Ma i dubbi rimanevano
But doubts remained
Vedevo un mondo strano
I saw a strange world
Come se una grande barca
As if a big boat
Viaggia senza il capitano
Travel without the captain
Dove si va?
Where do you go?
Da piccolo vedevo
As a child I saw
Le cose in televisione
Things on television
E già capivo che era tutto solo una finzione
And I already realized that it was all just a fiction
E che l'isola del tesoro
And that treasure island
Non era chissà dove
It wasn't who knows where
Basterà cercare al sole, non esporsi quando piove
Just look in the sun, don't expose yourself when it rains
La logica non c'entra
Logic has nothing to do with it
Non l'hanno mai inventata
They never invented it
Es solo un altro modo per girare la frittata
E.g. just another way to turn the omelette
E finchè c'è gente in giro
And as long as there are people around
Che ha voglia di barare
Who wants to cheat
C'è qualcuno con la mazza e gliela vuole far pagare
There's someone with the bat and he wants to make him pay
E quindi c'è lo stress
And so there's stress
Regna solo confusione
Only confusion reigns
Però ho letto sul giornale che se sei bravo ti faranno un clone
But I read in the paper that if you're good, they're going to clone you
Dove si va?
Where do you go?
Dove si va?
Where do you go?
Adesso starò zitto
Now I'm going to shut up
La musica è finita
The music is over
Tutto quello che non ho detto
Everything I didn't say
Lo dirò in un'altra vita
I'll say it in another life
