Padremadre Lyrics in English Cesare Cremonini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Padremadre by Cesare Cremonini from Italian to English.
Padre, occhi gialli e stanchi
Father, yellow and tired eyes
Nelle sopracciglia il suo dolore da raccontarmi
In the eyebrows his pain to tell me
Madre, gonna lunga ai fianchi
Mother, long skirt at the hips
Nelle sue guance gli anni e i pranzi coi parenti
In her cheeks the years and the lunches with relatives
Non mi senti o non mi ascolti
Don't you hear me or don't you listen to me
Mentre piango ad occhi chiusi sotto al letto
While I cry with closed eyes under the bed
Padre se mi manchi
Father if I miss you
È perché ho dato più importanza ai miei lamenti
It's because I gave more importance to my complaints
Madre, perché piangi?
Mother, why are you crying?
Ma non mi hai detto tu, che una lacrima è un segreto?
But didn't you tell me that a tear is a secret?
Ed io ci credo, ma non ti vedo
And I believe it, but I don't see you
Mentre grido e canto le mie prime note
While I scream and sing my first notes
Ma se una canzone che stia al posto mio non c'è
But if there isn't a song to take my place
Eccola qua, è come se foste con me
Here it is, it's as if you were with me
Padre, mille anni
Father, a thousand years
E quante bombe sono esplose nei tuoi ricordi
And how many bombs have exploded in your memories
Madre, tra i gioielli
Mother, among the jewels
Sono ancora il più prezioso tra i diamanti?
Am I still the most precious among the diamonds?
Ma non mi ascolti, non mi senti
But you don't listen to me, you don't hear me
Mentre parto sulla nave dei potenti
While I leave on the ship of the powerful
Ma se una canzone che stia al posto mio non c'è
But if there isn't a song to take my place
Eccola qua, è come se foste con me
Here it is, it's as if you were with me
Ma se una canzone che stia al posto mio non c'è
But if there isn't a song to take my place
Eccola qua, è come se foste con me
Here it is, it's as if you were with me
Padre, occhi gialli e stanchi
Father, yellow and tired eyes
Cerca ancora coi tuoi proverbi a illuminarmi
Still searching with your proverbs to enlighten me
Madre, butta i panni
Mother, throw away the clothes
E prova ancora, se ne hai voglia a coccolarmi
And try again, if you feel like it, to cuddle me
Perché mi manchi
Because I miss you
E se son stato così lontano è stato solo per salvarmi
And if I've been so far away it was only to save myself
Così lontano è stato solo per salvarmi
So far away it was only to save myself
Così lontano è stato solo per salvarmi
So far away it was only to save myself
Ma se una canzone che stia al posto mio non c'è
But if there isn't a song to take my place
Eccola qua, è come se foste con me
Here it is, it's as if you were with me
È come se foste con me
It's as if you were with me
È come se foste con me
It's as if you were with me
