(Beautiful girl)
(Beautiful girl)
Sarà la pioggia, la notte che
It must be the rain, the night that
Saranno solo rimorsi, fumo e caffè
It will only be regrets, smoke and coffee
E sarà ancora buio, ma la luna non c'è
And it will still be dark, but the moon isn't there
Cara mia ex, la luna non c'è
My dear ex, the moon isn't there
Venerdì sera, le nove, dopo due giorni che piove
Friday night, nine o'clock, after two days of rain
L'acqua per strada e l'inchiostro sul foglio, lo stesso colore
Water on the street and ink on the paper, the same color
Guardando un quaderno di rime del '93
Looking at a notebook of rhymes from '93
C'era una foto di un pezzo su un treno con davanti io e te
There was a photo of a piece on a train with you and me in front
E allora tanti perché, dimenticati, sono tornati amplificati
And then so many whys, forgotten, came back amplified
E più complicati insistono su come e quando ci siamo lasciati
And more complicated, they insist on how and when we broke up
Su perché oggi sento il blues, dopo gli anni passati
On why today I feel the blues, after the years gone by
Giro la televisione, corrida di idee banali
I turn on the TV, a bullfight of banal ideas
L'amico mi propone movida per locali
My friend suggests going out to clubs
Ma ho scarica la pila da tempo e non ha senso divagare
But my battery has been dead for a while and there's no point in rambling
Penso a come mi facevi stare spento il cellulare
I think about how you made me feel with my phone turned off
Sarà la pioggia la notte che
It must be the rain, the night that
Saranno solo rimorsi, fumo e caffè
It will only be regrets, smoke and coffee
E sarà ancora buio, ma la luna non c'è
And it will still be dark, but the moon isn't there
Cara mia ex, la luna non c'è
My dear ex, the moon isn't there
E guarda quanto un uomo matura senza premura
And look how much a man matures without haste
Perde la misura, poi giura scuse che valgono spazzatura
Loses his temper, then swears excuses that are worth trash
Prende a pugni porte, sveglia il vicinato
Punches doors, wakes the neighbors
Fa a botte con chi era appena sgarbato
Fights with whoever was just rude
La notte ti chiama ubriaco
At night he calls you drunk
Ci vuoi fare il progetto di una vita
You want to plan a life project with him
Lui si fa trovare a letto con una tua amica
He's found in bed with a friend of yours
Pensa solo a se stesso, divide amore dal sesso
He only thinks of himself, separates love from sex
Ha belle parole ma mantenere ciò che ha promesso
He has beautiful words but keeping what he promised
Non gli è mai successo, troppo egoista per un compromesso
Never happened to him, too selfish for a compromise
Così ero messo e adesso confesso ascoltando il tuo pezzo
That's how I was and now I confess listening to your favorite song
Preferito tra i miei dei miei vecchi dischi
Among my old records
Bevo una birra che vorrei fosse whiskey
I drink a beer that I wish was whiskey
Ho una cicatrice sul cuore con sopra il tuo nome
I have a scar on my heart with your name on it
Ma voglio tu sia felice anni luce da questa canzone
But I want you to be happy light-years away from this song
E dal male che ti ho fatto lui saprà curarti
And from the harm I did to you, he'll know how to heal you
Mentre conto i miei errori realizzati tardi
While I count my mistakes realized too late
Sarà
It will be
Sarà la pioggia la notte che
It must be the rain, the night that
Saranno solo rimorsi, fumo e caffè
It will only be regrets, smoke and coffee
E sarà ancora buio, ma la luna non c'è
And it will still be dark, but the moon isn't there
Cara mia ex, la luna non c'è
My dear ex, the moon isn't there
La luna si dice muove marea e cuore umano
The moon is said to move tides and human hearts
Io invece, non ne ho idea vivo a Milano il mare è lontano
I, however, have no idea, I live in Milan, the sea is far away
Quando uscivamo era diverso sempre erano luci intense
When we went out it was different, there were always intense lights
Ora vedo opache insegne e pioggia di novembre
Now I see opaque signs and November rain
Mi manchi guapa, manca ogni litigata
I miss you, beautiful, I miss every argument
Manca il sapore di tornare e ritrovarti a casa
I miss the taste of coming home and finding you there
L'odore di una maglietta prestata
The smell of a borrowed shirt
La tua voce che mi consola, fare la pace
Your voice that comforts me, making up
In una piazzola dell'autostrada
In a rest stop on the highway
E quante cose non dette, micro vendette
And how many unsaid things, micro revenges
Appendi la mia foto al muro e gioca a freccette
Hang my photo on the wall and play darts
Sarà che infine io maturo col delay
It must be that finally I mature with a delay
Che le regine non scelgono i plebei
That queens don't choose commoners
Sarà che ti vorrei
It must be that I want you
Sarà la pioggia la notte che
It must be the rain, the night that
Saranno solo rimorsi, fumo e caffè
It will only be regrets, smoke and coffee
E sarà ancora buio, ma la luna non c'è
And it will still be dark, but the moon isn't there
Cara mia ex, la luna non c'è
My dear ex, the moon isn't there
(Beautiful girl)
(Beautiful girl)
(Beautiful girl)
(Beautiful girl)
(Beautiful girl)
(Beautiful girl)

Did you like this lyrics translation?
movida — nightlife / scene
Movida is an interesting word that refers to the lively social and cultural scene, often associated with nightlife, parties, and going out.
In the song, the friend proposes "movida per locali" (nightlife for clubs), but the singer feels too drained to participate. It's a word that captures a specific cultural vibe and offers a glimpse into Italian social life, making it more engaging than a simple translation of "party" or "going out".
