Love Boat Lyrics in English by Bugo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Love Boat by Bugo from Italian to English.
Ehi bambina dimmi che cos'hai
Hey baby, tell me what's wrong
Sono giorni che il tuo volto è spento
Your face has been down for days
Se stai in silenzio lo sai che mi spavento
If you stay silent, you know I get scared
Che cos'hai?
What's wrong?
Posso aver commesso un altro stupido sbaglio
I might've made another stupid mistake
Come un ammiraglio aver cambiato rotta
Like an admiral, having changed course
Ma perché getti nel mare il nostro bagaglio?
But why do you throw our baggage into the sea?
La nave, la nave, la nave va nel mare
The ship, the ship, the ship sails on the sea
Porta con sé le delusioni che non riusciamo a dimenticare
It carries with it the disappointments we can't forget
Maledetta nave
Damned ship
Maledetto mare
Damned sea
Stai seguendo l'indirizzo della gioia
You're following the direction of joy
La nave viaggia su liquide rotaie
The ship travels on liquid rails
Noi perdiamo acqua abbiamo le occhiaie
We're taking on water, we have dark circles
E poi
And then
Se continuerà questa stupida battaglia
If this stupid battle continues
Alimentata da onde di rabbia
Fueled by waves of anger
Me la vedo la nave che si incaglia
I can see the ship getting stuck
Nella sabbia
In the sand
La nave, la nave, la nave va nel mare
The ship, the ship, the ship sails on the sea
Porta con sé le delusioni che non riusciamo a dimenticare
It carries with it the disappointments we can't forget
Maledetta nave
Damned ship
Maledetto mare
Damned sea
Ehi bambina dimmi che cos'hai
Hey baby, tell me what's wrong
Sono giorni che il tuo volto è spento
Your face has been down for days
Se stai in silenzio lo sai che mi spavento
If you stay silent, you know I get scared
Che cos'hai? Che cos'hai?
What's wrong? What's wrong?
Posso aver commesso un altro stupido sbaglio
I might've made another stupid mistake
Come un ammiraglio aver cambiato rotta
Like an admiral, having changed course
Ma perché getti nel mare il nostro bagaglio?
But why do you throw our baggage into the sea?
La nave, la nave, la nave va nel mare
The ship, the ship, the ship sails on the sea
Porta con sé le delusioni che non riusciamo a dimenticare
It carries with it the disappointments we can't forget
Maledetta nave
Damned ship
Maledetto mare
Damned sea

Did you like this lyrics translation?

ammiraglio — admiral

Ammiraglio translates to "admiral", a high-ranking naval officer. It's an interesting word because it evokes a sense of command and direction, but in the song, it's used in a self-deprecating way.

Bugo sings, "Come un ammiraglio aver cambiato rotta" (Like an admiral having changed course), implying that he, like a misguided admiral, made a wrong decision that led to trouble in the relationship. This metaphorical use makes it a unique and memorable word in the context of a love song.
