La Mia Città Lyrics in English by Emma

Home / Lyrics translation / Emma / La Mia Città

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Mia Città by Emma from Italian to English.

Odio andare di fretta

I hate rushing

I rumori, la nebbia, il tempo appeso

The noises, the fog, the hanging time

Di questa città

Of this city

Odio le scarpe col tacco

I hate high-heeled shoes

Che incastro distratta nei tombini invadenti

That I absentmindedly wedge into intrusive drains

Di questa città

Of this city

Odio me stessa allo specchio non per il difetto

I hate myself in the mirror not for the flaw

Ma per stupidità

But for stupidity

Amo restare in giro sapendo di tornare sempre

I love hanging out knowing I'll always come back

In questa città

To this city

E dimmi se c'è un senso al tempo

And tell me if there's a sense to time

Al mio vagare inutile

To my useless wandering

E dimmi se c'è davvero una meta

And tell me if there really is a destination

O dovrò correre per la felicità

Or do I have to run for happiness

E corro corro avanti e torno indietro

And I run run forward and go back

Scappo voglio prendo e tremo

I escape I want I take and tremble

Stringo forte il tuo respiro

I hold your breath tight

E penso a me che non ho un freno spingo forte non ti temo

And I think of myself that I have no brake I push hard I don't fear you

Voglio tutto voglio te

I want everything I want you

Voglio te, voglio te, voglio te

I want you, I want you, I want you

Amo il traffico in centro, parcheggiare distratta

I love downtown traffic, parking absentmindedly

Il tuo sorriso, la mia instabilità

Your smile, my instability

Amo fare l'offesa senza neanche una scusa fare pace la sera

I love being offensive without even an excuse making peace in the evening

Spegni la città

Turn off the city

E amo me stessa per questo per egocentrismo

And I love myself for this for egocentrism

Senza, razionalità

Without rationality

Amo prenderti in giro sapendo di tornare sempre

I love teasing you knowing I'll always come back

Nella mia città

To my city

E dimmi se c'è un senso al tempo

And tell me if there's a sense to time

Al mio vagare inutile

To my useless wandering

E dimmi se c'è davvero una meta

And tell me if there really is a destination

O dovrò correre per la felicità

Or do I have to run for happiness

E corro corro avanti e torno indietro

And I run run forward and go back

Scappo voglio prendo e tremo

I escape I want I take and tremble

Stringo forte il tuo respiro

I hold your breath tight

E penso a me che non ho un freno spingo forte non ti temo

And I think of myself that I have no brake I push hard I don't fear you

Voglio tutto, voglio te

I want everything, I want you

Voglio te, voglio te, voglio te

I want you, I want you, I want you

E dimmi se lo vuoi

And tell me if you want it

E dimmi che non sei

And tell me you're not

Soltanto un riflesso confuso che guardo sul fondo di noi

Just a confused reflection that I look at at the bottom of us

E corro corro avanti e torno indietro

And I run run forward and go back

Scappo voglio prendo e tremo

I escape I want I take and tremble

Stringo forte il tuo respiro

I hold your breath tight

E penso a me che non ho un freno spingo forte non ti temo

And I think of myself that I have no brake I push hard I don't fear you

Voglio tutto voglio te

I want everything I want you

Voglio te, voglio te, voglio te, voglio te

I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you

Voglio te, voglio te, voglio te, voglio te

I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
