Colpo Di Pistola Lyrics in English by Brunori Sas
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Colpo Di Pistola by Brunori Sas from Italian to English.
Perché lei non mi amasse non lo so
Why she didn't love me, I don't know
Io che le avevo dato tutto quel che ho
I who had given her all I have
Ma forse quel che ho non è abbastanza
But maybe what I have isn't enough
Forse cercava il cielo in questa stanza
Maybe she was looking for the sky in this room
E un cielo non ce l'ho, mmh
And I don't have a sky, mmh
E poi perché è fuggita chi lo sa
And then why she fled, who knows
Forse perché cercava un po' di liberta
Maybe because she was looking for a bit of freedom
Ma io non la tenevo prigioniera
But I wasn't holding her prisoner
La incatenavo solo verso sera
I only chained her up towards evening
Per stare un po' con lei
To be with her for a bit
Per stare stretto a lei
To be close to her
Perché l'amore, l'amore è un colpo di pistola
Because love, love is a gunshot
L'amore, l'amore è un pugno sulla schiena
Love, love is a punch in the back
È uno schiaffo per cena
It's a slap for dinner
Lai, la-la-la-la-lai, l'amore ti tocca appena
Lai, la-la-la-la-lai, love barely touches you
Che cosa non andasse non lo so
What wasn't working, I don't know
Forse l'ho amata troppo e troppo non si può
Maybe I loved her too much and you can't do too much
Ma c'è un inferno in ogni primavera
But there's a hell in every spring
Per questo l'ho cercata fino a sera
That's why I looked for her until evening
Per chiederle perché
To ask her why
Amore cosa c'è?
Love, what's wrong?
Perché l'amore, l'amore è un colpo di pistola
Because love, love is a gunshot
L'amore, l'amore è un pugno sulla schiena
Love, love is a punch in the back
È uno schiaffo per cena
It's a slap for dinner
L'amore ti sfiora appena
Love barely brushes you
E poi perché l'ho fatto non lo so
And then why I did it, I don't know
Forse per non sentire ancora un altro no
Maybe so as not to hear another no
Uscire dalla sua bocca dorata
Coming out of her golden mouth
Prima l'ho uccisa e dopo l'ho baciata
First I killed her and then I kissed her
L'amore, il mio amore è un colpo di pistola
Love, my love is a gunshot
L'amore, l'amore è una fanfara che suona la nostra canzone
Love, love is a fanfare playing our song
È un nodo intorno al collo
It's a knot around the neck
Nel buio di una prigione
In the darkness of a prison

DARIO BRUNORI
Did you like this lyrics translation?
incatenavo — I was chaining / I was shackling
Incatenavo comes from the verb incatenare, meaning "to chain" or "to shackle." It's a strong and evocative word that immediately grabs attention.
In the song, the narrator uses it to describe his possessive love, saying, "La incatenavo solo verso sera" (I was chaining her only towards evening). This reveals a dark, obsessive side to his affection, making the word particularly impactful and central to the song's dramatic narrative about love and loss.
