La Ricetta (...Per Curare Un Uomo Solo) Lyrics in English by Cesare Cremonini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Ricetta (...Per Curare Un Uomo Solo) by Cesare Cremonini from Italian to English.
Dovete sapere che sebbene non abbia niente di speciale
You should know that even though he has nothing special
Quest'uomo è capace di fare una cosa a dir poco originale
This man is capable of doing something, to say the least, original
Chiude la porta, quattro lenti giri di chiave dopo di corsa
He closes the door, four slow turns of the key, then he runs
Dove nessuno lo può cercare a chiudere gli occhi
Where nobody can find him to close his eyes
E sognare
And dream
Magari poi svuota litri di latte con la rabbia che lo assale
Maybe then he empties liters of milk with the rage that overwhelms him
Fa cadere a terra un camice da lattaio di via delle fragole
He drops a milkman's smock from Strawberry Street
Indossa un cappellino da cuoco
He puts on a chef's hat
E magari per gioco inventa ricette a go go
And maybe for fun he invents recipes galore
Due foglie di alloro, questo è il suo tesoro
Two bay leaves, this is his treasure
Ecco la ricetta per curare
Here's the recipe to cure
La ricetta per
The recipe for
Ecco la ricetta per curare un uomo solo
Here's the recipe to cure a lonely man
Metterà lo zucchero
He'll put sugar
Al posto del salato
Instead of salt
Per dimostrare al pubblico che nella vita è vero il vero
To show the public that in life what's true is true
Ma pure il suo contrario
But also its opposite
E niente senza il pianto sarebbe straordinario
And nothing without tears would be extraordinary
Fa cadere a terra un camice da lattaio di Via delle Fragole
He drops a milkman's smock from Strawberry Street
Inventa mille piatti per gioco
He invents a thousand dishes for fun
Magari per poco sembra contento di sé
Maybe for a while he seems happy with himself
Ecco la ricetta per curare
Here's the recipe to cure
La ricetta per
The recipe for
Ecco la ricetta per salvare
Here's the recipe to save
La ricetta per
The recipe for
Ecco la ricetta per curare
Here's the recipe to cure
La ricetta per
The recipe for
Ecco un uomo solo
Here's a lonely man

Did you like this lyrics translation?
lattaio — milkman
Lattaio translates to "milkman". It's an interesting word because it refers to a profession that is not as common today, giving it a slightly nostalgic or whimsical feel.
In the song, the lyrics mention "un camice da lattaio di via delle fragole" (a milkman's smock from Strawberry Street). This detail adds a touch of quirky charm and specificity to the character, hinting at a unique and perhaps eccentric individual who invents recipes to cure his loneliness.
