Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ubriaco by Diodato from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quando la luna spuntò
When the moon sprang
Ero già un fiasco di vino
I was already a wine fiasco
E dondolando su un ponte cantavo canzoni
And rocking on a bridge I sang songs
Chissà poi perché
Who knows why
Poi un tratto vidi anche lei
Then all of a sudden I saw her too
Di sola luna vestita
Moon-only dressed
Mi disse: 'vieni
He said to me, 'come
Avvicinati, vieni
Come closer, come
Stanotte con te resterò'
I'm staying with you tonight.'
E c'erano le stelle
And there were stars
A ricamare il cielo
Embroidering the sky
Ed io come uno scemo
And I as a fool
Non presi la sua mano
I didn't take his hand
E c'erano dei fiori
And there were flowers
A profumare la notte
To perfume the night
Ed io che proprio scemo
And I who just fool
Dio che scemo
God what a fool
Non li rubai per lei
I didn't steal them for her
Ma ero ubriaco
But I was drunk
Di casa sono fuggita
I ran away from home
Stanca di questa mia vita
Tired of my life
Delle sue mani che affondano e offendono
Of his hands sinking and offending
Fendono e affondano in me
They fendono and sink into me
E c'erano le stelle
And there were stars
A ricamare il cielo
Embroidering the sky
Ed io come uno scemo
And I as a fool
Non presi la sua mano
I didn't take his hand
Scendevano le lacrime
Tears were coming down
Sul viso suo di rosa
On his face in pink
Ed io che proprio scemo
And I who just fool
Dio che scemo
God what a fool
Nemmeno le asciugai
Not even the dryers
Ma ero ubriaco
But I was drunk
Sì, forse solo di me
yes, maybe just me
Quando la luna spuntò
When the moon sprang
Ero già un fiasco di vino
I was already a wine fiasco
E non mi accorsi che un angelo
And I didn't notice that an angel
Chiedeva aiuto
He asked for help
