Parli Parli Lyrics in English by Carl Brave, ELODIE
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Parli Parli by Carl Brave from Italian to English.
E tu parli, parli, parli
And you talk, talk, talk
Alla cornetta in fretta
On the phone quickly
Come fosse un'interurbana
As if it were a long-distance call
Hai solo un'ultima moneta da infilare
You only have one last coin to insert
Poi mi lascerai da sola (come una cretina)
Then you'll leave me alone (like an idiot)
Questo cellulare maledetto ci divide
This d*mn phone divides us
Ma ci fa anche avvicinare
But it also brings us closer
Vicini non sappiamo stare
We don't know how to be close
Vicini non sappiamo stare
We don't know how to be close
Sappiamo stare lontani
We know how to be far apart
Come gatto e cane
Like cat and dog
Montagna e mare, okay
Mountain and sea, okay
Mi manchi come il pane
I miss you so much
Come il weekend
Like the weekend
E non posso aspettare
And I can't wait
Quindi ho bisogno di te, ehi
So I need you, hey
Di quella cosa che sai fare bene
For that thing you do well
Piovono processionarie, ehi
Processionary caterpillars are raining down, hey
Tra i pini della capitale
Among the pines of the capital
Noi facciamo slalom
We slalom
E merci rare in una foto di una Kodak dell'82, eh eh
And rare goods in a photo from an '82 Kodak, eh eh
Hai bluffato ad incazzarti a bestia
You bluffed about getting really p*ssed off
Dai, ti prego, non fa' la molesta e lo sai bene
Come on, please, don't be annoying and you know it well
Che io sono testardo
That I'm stubborn
Come il sole d'estate
Like the summer sun
Come una mosca impazzita che prende il vetro a testate
Like a crazy fly hitting its head against the glass
Che sono un pezzo di pane, ma indurito dal tempo
That I'm a good person, but hardened by time
E mo è tardi, tardi, tardi per ricominciare
And now it's too late, late, late to start over
E tu parli, parli e parli
And you talk, talk and talk
Alla cornetta in fretta
On the phone quickly
Come fosse un'interurbana
As if it were a long-distance call
Hai solo un'ultima moneta da infilare
You only have one last coin to insert
Poi mi lascerai da sola (come una cretina)
Then you'll leave me alone (like an idiot)
Questo cellulare maledetto ci divide (maledetto)
This d*mn phone divides us (d*mn)
Ma ci fa anche avvicinare
But it also brings us closer
Vicini non sappiamo stare
We don't know how to be close
Mi dici: 'Hello, amore mio grande' (ciao)
You tell me: "Hello, my great love" (hi)
Sei così di coccio e poi così fragile
You're so stubborn and then so fragile
Ti tagli con la luce tra le serrande
You cut yourself with the light between the blinds
Ripensi a tuo nonno, trattieni le lacrime
You think back to your grandpa, you hold back tears
Fai colazione volante
You have a quick breakfast
Poi ti metti al volante
Then you get behind the wheel
Adelante, adelante, adelante
Forward, forward, forward
Pensi che hai scordato qualcosa, ma cosa? (Boh)
You think you've forgotten something, but what? (Dunno)
Fai mente locale, ti leggo il labiale
You try to remember, I read your lips
Farfugli nervosa
You mumble nervously
Devi fare la spesa (poi), parli spesso da sola
You have to do the shopping (then), you often talk to yourself
Odi le tende chiare perché entra il sole
You hate light curtains because the sun comes in
E non ti fa mai dormire (aó)
And it never lets you sleep (hey)
Non fa' la pesante, ti mando un bacio gigante
Don't be so difficult, I'm sending you a huge kiss
Eravamo perfetti ma c'è mancato il collante, ormai è tardi
We were perfect but we lacked the glue, now it's too late
È mai tardi, tardi, tardi per ricominciare?
Is it ever too late, late, late to start over?
E tu parli, parli e parli
And you talk, talk and talk
Alla cornetta in fretta
On the phone quickly
Come fosse un'interurbana
As if it were a long-distance call
Hai solo un'ultima moneta da infilare
You only have one last coin to insert
Poi mi lascerai da sola (come una cretina)
Then you'll leave me alone (like an idiot)
Questo cellulare (questo cellulare)
This phone (this phone)
Maledetto ci divide (maledetto)
D*mn it divides us (d*mn)
Ma ci fa anche avvicinare
But it also brings us closer
Vicini non sappiamo stare
We don't know how to be close

Did you like this lyrics translation?
processionarie — processionary caterpillars
Processionarie refers to 'processionary caterpillars', which are known for moving in a head-to-tail procession. It's a very specific and somewhat unusual word to find in a pop song, making it memorable.
In the context of the song, the line "Piovono processionarie, ehi Tra i pini della capitale" (Processionary caterpillars are raining down, hey Among the pines of the capital) creates a vivid and slightly surreal image. It adds a touch of quirky realism to the urban setting, hinting at unexpected occurrences in everyday life.
