Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'amore (Il mostro) by Dolcenera from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Guardami negli occhi, mostro
Look me in the eye, monster
Attaccato alle spalle
Attached to the shoulders
Evita gli specchi
Avoid mirrors
Tanto ti guardano le stelle, stelle
The stars, stars, look at you so much
Sei arrivato fin qua
You've come this far
Con la faccia che fai
With the face you make
A pagare la vita che non hai
To pay for the life you don't have
Non ti chiedo pietà
I don't ask you for mercy
Sono un bimbo, chissà
I'm a child, who knows
Sono nato così, dal dolore
I was born like this, from pain
Animale, questo è per te
Animal, this is for you
Che ti fa sentire grande e forte come un dio
That makes you feel as big and strong as a god
Allore guardami negli occhi
Laurel look me in the eye
Mostro attaccato alle spalle
Monster attached to his shoulders
E dimmi cosa vedi
And tell me what you see
Ma tanto tu non credi a niente
But you don't believe in anything
Sono ancora vivo
I'm still alive
Un corpo senza una croce
A body without a cross
Acqua sulle labbra
Water on the lips
Per non lasciarmi morire
So I don't let myself die
Io non chiedo pietà
I don't ask for mercy
Sono un bimbo, chissà
I'm a child, who knows
Finirà prima o poi questa vita
This life will end sooner or later
Animale, questo è per te
Animal, this is for you
Che con me puoi tutto
That with me you can do everything
Vita o morte come un dio
Life or death as a god
Allora guardami negli occhi
Then look me in the eye
Mostro attaccato alle spalle
Monster attached to his shoulders
E dimmi cosa vedi
And tell me what you see
Se assomiglio a tuo figlio
If I look like your child
Se il mio cuore
If my heart
Potesse pensare si fermerebbe
He might have thought it would stop
Se il mio cuore
If my heart
Sapesse che fare ti ucciderebbe
He knew what to do would kill you
E allora guardami negli occhi
So look me in the eye
Mostro attaccato alle spalle
Monster attached to his shoulders
E evita gli specchi
And avoid mirrors
Tanto ti guardano le stelle
The stars are watching you a lot
