Le Sei E Ventisei Lyrics in English by Cesare Cremonini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Sei E Ventisei by Cesare Cremonini from Italian to English.
Le sei e ventisei
Six twenty-six
Ci sono notti in cui non sai dormire
There are nights when you can't sleep
E più lo chiami e più Morfeo ti dice 'non ce n'è'
And the more you call him, the more Morpheus tells you "there's none"
Scendere per strada in cerca di una birra e poi trovarsi
Going down the street looking for a beer and then finding yourself
A raccontare a una puttana tutti i tuoi perché
Telling a hooker all your whys
Non pensavo di esser stato divertente invece guarda
I didn't think I'd been funny, but look
Come ride, sembra anche felice, molto più di me
How she laughs, she even seems happy, much more than me
Ma se ti piace nascere al tramonto puoi dormire insieme a me
But if you like being born at sunset, you can sleep with me
Guarda un po' dove ti porta la vita
Just look where life takes you
In questa notte sbagliata la birra è finita, seh
On this wrong night the beer is finished, yeah
Ma tu puoi essere mia amica?
But can you be my friend?
Ci penserò magari tutta la vita
Maybe I'll think about it my whole life
Se dio sapesse di te sarebbe al tuo fianco, eh
If God knew about you, he'd be by your side, huh
Direbbe 'Son io, quel pittore son io'
He'd say "It's me, that painter is me"
Facendosi bello per te
Making himself handsome for you
Ma è troppo occupato a dipingere nuvole in cielo
But he's too busy painting clouds in the sky
Per badare anche me
To look after me too
L'asfalto mentre corri
The asphalt as you run
Sembra un fiume verso il mare
Looks like a river towards the sea
Il panorama se ti volti è spazio e tu sei l'astronave
The view if you turn around is space and you're the spaceship
Perderti nei vicoli
Getting lost in the alleys
Domani non svegliateci
Don't wake us tomorrow
C'è la luna da esplorare
There's the moon to explore
La stella polare dov'è?
Where's the North Star?
Poi sentirsi liberi, prigionieri e simili
Then feeling free, prisoners and similar
Torneremo liberi ma liberi da che?
We'll be free again, but free from what?
Se ti piace nascere al tramonto puoi dormire
If you like being born at sunset, you can sleep
Se ti piace nascere al tramonto puoi dormire
If you like being born at sunset, you can sleep
Se ti piace nascere al tramonto puoi dormire insieme a me
If you like being born at sunset, you can sleep with me
Se dio sapesse di te sarebbe al tuo fianco, eh
If God knew about you, he'd be by your side, huh
Direbbe 'Son io, quel pittore son io'
He'd say "It's me, that painter is me"
Facendosi bello per te, eh
Making himself handsome for you, huh
Ma è troppo occupato a far piovere il cielo
But he's too busy making the sky rain
Dare vita a uno stagno e forza all'oceano
Giving life to a pond and strength to the ocean
Ed io come un vecchio scienziato
And I, like an old scientist
L'ho scoperto
I discovered it
L'ho scoperto
I discovered it

Did you like this lyrics translation?
Morfeo — Morpheus (god of dreams)
Morfeo refers to Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams. It's a classical allusion that adds a poetic and somewhat whimsical touch to the lyrics.
In the song, the line "E più lo chiami e più Morfeo ti dice 'non ce n'è'" translates to "And the more you call him, the more Morpheus tells you 'there isn't any'". This personifies sleep, suggesting that the narrator is struggling with insomnia and Morpheus is refusing to grant him rest. It's a unique and evocative way to describe a sleepless night.
