La Isla Lyrics in English by Cesare Cremonini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Isla by Cesare Cremonini from Italian to English.
So disegnare parole
I know how to draw words
Come me l'hai insegnato tu
As you taught me
Come si fa se il cielo cambia colore?
What do you do if the sky changes color?
E quella vita non torna più
And that life never comes back
Avrei potuto dire cose che nemmeno mi ricordo
I could have said things I don't even remember
In quel locale al porto c'era Alain Delon
In that club at the port there was Alain Delon
E tu eri magica in pista
And you were magical on the dance floor
Questa follia non vedo l'ora che finisca
I can't wait for this madness to end
La isla
The island
Quando ripenso a te, la notte sogno
When I think of you again, at night I dream
La isla
The island
Fammi del male, che io sono pronto
Hurt me, because I'm ready
Consumo le ore
I use up the hours
Come i francesi che fanno surf
Like the French who surf
Un ragazzino corre dietro a un pallone
A kid runs after a ball
Parigi contro Budapest
Paris against Budapest
I tuoi pensieri qui diventano leggeri come sabbia
Your thoughts here become light like sand
Sai Pinocchio, la balena è come un Grand Hotel
You know Pinocchio, the whale is like a Grand Hotel
La libertà è una conquista
Freedom is a conquest
È un allucinazione eppure l'ho già vista
It's a hallucination yet I've already seen it
La isla
The island
Quando ripenso a te, la notte sogno
When I think of you again, at night I dream
La isla
The island
Fammi del male, che io sono pronto
Hurt me, because I'm ready
La isla
The island
Quando ripenso a te, la notte sogno
When I think of you again, at night I dream
La isla
The island
Sento il richiamo
I hear the call
Di una voce che mi canta
Of a voice that sings to me
Come Ulisse e le sirene da lontano
Like Ulysses and the sirens from afar
Sembra l'eco di una danza
It seems like the echo of a dance
E non c'è niente di strano
And there's nothing strange
Siamo vele di una barca
We are sails of a boat
La libertà è una conquista
Freedom is a conquest
Questa follia non vedo l'ora che finisca
I can't wait for this madness to end
Sotto gli occhiali da sole
Under the sunglasses
Chissà se guardavi verso me
I wonder if you were looking towards me
In quale lingua mi avrai detto il tuo nome?
In what language did you tell me your name?
Vorrei poterti scrivere
I'd like to be able to write to you
Come si fa se poi la vita che cerchiamo non ci basta?
What do you do if the life we seek isn't enough for us?
Non ci pensare salta, è come dicono
Don't think about it, jump, it's like they say
La libertà è una conquista
Freedom is a conquest
Questa follia non vedo l'ora che finisca
I can't wait for this madness to end
La isla
The island
La isla
The island
La isla
The island
Quando ripenso a te la notte sogno
When I think of you again, at night I dream
La isla
The island
La isla
The island
La isla
The island
La isla
The island
La isla
The island

Did you like this lyrics translation?
naufragio — shipwreck
Naufragio literally translates to "shipwreck". It's a powerful and dramatic word that you don't hear in songs every day.
In this romantic ballad, Cesare Cremonini uses it metaphorically to describe being lost in a sea of emotion. He sings about "el naufragio de un sentimiento" (the shipwreck of a feeling), creating a vivid image of being completely overwhelmed by his love and desire. This poetic use makes it a truly memorable word.
