La Macchina Del Tempo Lyrics in English by Cesare Cremonini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Macchina Del Tempo by Cesare Cremonini from Italian to English.
L'ultimo bacio, se ne andò via veloce
The last kiss, it went away fast
Come il volo di una rondine
Like the flight of a swallow
Tra i cavi tesi della luce
Between the taut power lines
E quella notte non c'era luna
And that night there was no moon
Ti ho vista persino sorridere
I even saw you smile
Cercando una buona scusa per
Looking for a good excuse to
Andare via
Go away
E sembra lontano, due o tre secoli almeno
And it seems far away, two or three centuries at least
Quel viaggio che non fu per noi
That journey that wasn't for us
Rose rosse e caviale
Red roses and caviar
E giuro che non l'ho mai perduta
And I swear I never lost her
La vedo ancora ballare nuda
I still see her dancing naked
Quando il vino mi chiamò
When the wine called me
Rispose
She answered
Guarda che strani scherzi fa il vento
Look what strange tricks the wind plays
Ci porta via leggeri
It takes us away lightly
In un solo momento
In a single moment
Ti sento
I feel you
Si ferma la macchina del tempo
The time machine stops
E non sei più mia
And you're no longer mine
Il primo bacio, ci portò via la voce
The first kiss, it took our voice away
Lasciando a terra i vestiti in un quadro di labbra rosse e pudore
Leaving our clothes on the ground in a picture of red lips and modesty
E quella notte pioveva forte
And that night it was raining hard
Ti ho vista persino sorridere
I even saw you smile
Dissi 'non andar più via'
I said "don't go away anymore"
Guarda che strani scherzi fa il vento
Look what strange tricks the wind plays
Ci porta via leggeri
It takes us away lightly
In un solo momento
In a single moment
Guarda che strani scherzi fa il vento
Look what strange tricks the wind plays
Porta via le paure
Take away the fears
In un solo momento
In a single moment
Ti sento
I feel you
Ferma la macchina del tempo
Stop the time machine
E sei ancora mia
And you're still mine
Guarda che strani scherzi fa il vento
Look what strange tricks the wind plays
Ci porta via leggeri
It takes us away lightly
In un solo momento
In a single moment
Guarda che strani scherzi fa il vento
Look what strange tricks the wind plays
Porta via le paure
Take away the fears
In un solo momento
In a single moment

Did you like this lyrics translation?

rondine — swallow (bird)

Rondine translates to "swallow," referring to the bird. It's a beautiful and somewhat less common word in everyday Italian, making it stand out in the lyrics.

In the song, it's used to describe the swift departure of a kiss: "Come il volo di una rondine" (Like the flight of a swallow). This imagery evokes a sense of fleeting beauty and quick movement, perfectly capturing the transient nature of the moment.
