Il Comico (Sai Che Risate) Lyrics in English by Cesare Cremonini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Comico (Sai Che Risate) by Cesare Cremonini from Italian to English.
Sono stato anche normale
I've also been normal
In una vita precedente
In a previous life
M'hanno chiesto 'che sai fare?'
They asked me "what can you do?"
'So far ridere la gente'
"I can make people laugh"
Meno male
Luckily
Che non ho fatto il militare
That I didn't do military service
Sì, meno male
Yes, luckily
Sai che risate
You know what a laugh
C'è chi non conosce Dante
There's who doesn't know Dante
Chi c'ha tutto da imparare
Who has everything to learn
Chi è felice quando piange
Who's happy when they cry
Chi si veste da soldato a carnevale
Who dresses as a soldier for carnival
Io mi nascondo tra la gente
I hide among people
Sì, a carnevale non so che fare
Yes, for carnival I don't know what to do
Tu vestita da bambina
You dressed as a little girl
Prigioniera, vuoi scappare
A prisoner, you want to escape
Da una perfida regina
From a wicked queen
Così seria da star male
So serious it makes you sick
Non so dirti una parola, non ho niente di speciale
I can't say a word to you, I have nothing special
Ma se ridi poi vuol dire che una cosa la so fare
But if you laugh then it means there's one thing I can do
Se mi lancio in un'aiuola casco e non mi faccio male
If I jump into a flowerbed I fall and don't get hurt
E l'occhio ride ma ti piange il cuore
And your eye smiles but your heart cries
Sei così bella ma vorresti morire
You're so beautiful but you'd want to die
Sognavi di essere trovata
You dreamed of being found
Su una spiaggia di corallo una mattina
On a coral beach one morning
Dal figlio di un pirata
By a pirate's son
Chissà perché ti sei svegliata
Who knows why you woke up
Si rincorrono i ricordi
Memories chase each other
Come cani in un cortile
Like dogs in a yard
Tu nemmeno te ne accorgi
You don't even notice it
Come un fesso vorrei farti innamorare
Like a fool I'd want to make you fall in love
No, ti prego non andare
No, please don't go
Se puoi rimani
If you can, stay
Fino a domani
Until tomorrow
Qui, vestita da bambina
Here, dressed as a little girl
Prigioniera, vuoi scappare
A prisoner, you want to escape
Da una perfida regina
From a wicked queen
Col tuo principe immortale
With your immortal prince
Non so dirti una parola, non ho niente di speciale
I can't say a word to you, I have nothing special
Ma se ridi poi vuol dire che una cosa la so fare
But if you laugh then it means there's one thing I can do
Se mi lancio in un'aiuola casco e non mi faccio
If I jump into a flowerbed I fall and don't get
E l'occhio ride ma ti piange il cuore
And your eye smiles but your heart cries
Sei così bella ma vorresti morire
You're so beautiful but you'd want to die
Sognavi di essere trovata
You dreamed of being found
Su una spiaggia di corallo una mattina
On a coral beach one morning
Dal figlio di un pirata
By a pirate's son
Chissà perché ti sei svegliata
Who knows why you woke up
E il mondo ride se mi piange il cuore
And the world laughs when my heart cries
Sei così bella ma vorresti sparire
You're so beautiful but you'd want to disappear
In mezzo a tutte queste facce
Among all these faces
Come se con te sparisse anche il dolore
As if with you the pain would disappear too
Senza lasciare tracce
Without leaving a trace
E l'occhio ride ma ti piange il cuore
And your eye smiles but your heart cries
Sognavi di essere trovata
You dreamed of being found
Su una spiaggia di corallo una mattina
On a coral beach one morning
Dal figlio di un pirata
By a pirate's son
Chissà perché ti sei svegliata
Who knows why you woke up

Did you like this lyrics translation?
aiuola — flowerbed
Aiuola translates to "flowerbed" or "garden bed". It's a charming and somewhat whimsical word that isn't commonly found in pop song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the song, the line "Se mi lancio in un'aiuola casco e non mi faccio male" (If I throw myself into a flowerbed I fall and don't hurt myself) suggests a playful, almost childlike innocence and resilience. It evokes an image of someone who, despite life's tumbles, lands softly and unharmed, perhaps reflecting the carefree spirit of the 'comico' (comedian) persona.
