Below, I translated the lyrics of the song ACQUA TONICA by Ernia from Italian to English.
Cosa cerchi di fare?
What are you trying to do?
A volte mi respingi perchè alla fine ti somiglio
Sometimes you reject me because in the end you're just like me
E io so che con una così o ci fai la guerra oppure ci fai un figlio
And I know that with someone like you, you either make war or make a child
Sai mi chiedevo, come ho fatto a convincerti quando non ti conoscevo
You know, I wondered how I managed to convince you when I didn't know you
Perché la paura nel grosso dei casi può esser motore o può essere freno
Because fear in most cases can be a motivator or a brake
Non sono l'unico che attiri
I'm not the only one you attract
Ma io so dar valore a quei sospiri
But I know how to value those sighs
C'è dell'altro di te che non descrivi
There's more to you that you don't describe
Quindi fammi varcare quei confini
So let me cross those boundaries
Si inchinano re, cadono i peri
Kings bow down, pears fall
Perché una così non si può avere
Because someone like you can't be had
E per quanto mi vaghi nei penseri
And no matter how much I wander in my thoughts
Sembra tu mi abbia drogato il bicchiere
It seems like you drugged my glass
Con la macchina nuova, colazione a Cova
With the new car, breakfast at Cova
In pubblico adori far la signora
In public, you adore playing the lady
Con gli occhi divori chi appena ti sfiora
With your eyes, you devour anyone who barely touches you
E in privato giochi a far Pretty Woman
And in private, you play Pretty Woman
Sparisci per giorni e non chiami più
You disappear for days and don't call anymore
Così io ti penso ma pure tu
So I think of you, but you do too
Mentre tuo padre urla
While your father yells
Tu esci di casa che ti aspetto giù
You leave the house and I wait for you downstairs
Si vuo me dice si ma je vulesse cchiu nu no
You say you want me, but you want more than just a no
Stamm a cena, te faje 'e foto
We're having dinner, you take photos
Nun saj l'ammore se more
You don't know love dies
Nun saje l'ammore che provoca
You don't know the love it provokes
Nguoll' a me staje comoda
You feel comfortable with me
Nguoll' 'a n'ato staje scomoda
You feel uncomfortable with someone else
Nun me dice maje no
You never tell me no
Tu mi dici sempre sì, ma vorrei sentire un no
You always say yes, but I would like to hear a no
Siamo a cena, fai le foto
We're having dinner, you take photos
Ma di amore si muore
But love is something you die for
Tu lo sai bene, mi provochi
You know it well, you provoke me
Un gin con l'acqua tonica
A gin with tonic water
Mentre mi guardi, ipnotica
While you look at me, hypnotic
A me non dire no
Don't tell me no
tu me ritte cchiu vote ca si te tradisco m'accire
You scold me more times if I betray you
T'aggio tradito ca fotografia ca me dato 'e quanno ire felice
I betrayed you with a photograph that showed me when I was happy
D'o primmo bacio, 'o primmo reato, 'o primmo atterraggio in prima
From the first kiss, the first crime, the first landing in first place
D'a primma vota ca te vedette pnzaje ca nun esistivi, no
The first time I saw you, I realized you didn't exist, no
Nuje parimme rivali po' alleati, ma stasera parimme cchiu duje estranei
We started as rivals, then allies, but tonight we seem like two strangers
Tu me dici, 'Dimme cu chi si stato'
You ask me, "Tell me who you've been with"
Simme n'istante, si nu brillante, si nu brindammo ce ne jammo 'a cca
We're a moment, like a shining star, like a toast, we're here
Cammenammo, je te voglio da 'a mano e tu invece vuo' piglià 'a mano 'a sparà
We walked, I want to hold your hand and instead you want to hold my hand and shoot
Si vuo me dice si ma je vulesse cchiu nu no
You say you want me, but you want more than just a no
Stamm a cena, te faje 'e foto
We're having dinner, you take photos
Nun saj l'ammore se more
You don't know love dies
Nun saje l'ammore che provoca
You don't know the love it causes
Nguoll' a me staje comoda
Nguoll' is comfortable for me
Nguoll' 'a n'ato staje scomoda
Nguoll' 'a n'ato staje uncomfortable
Nun me dice maje no
Don't tell me maje no
Tu mi dici sempre sì, ma vorrei sentire un no
You always tell me yes, but I would like to hear a no
Siamo a cena, fai le foto
We're having dinner, take photos
Ma di amore si muore
But you die of love
Tu lo sai bene, mi provochi
You know it well, you provoke me
Un gin con l'acqua tonica
A gin with tonic water
Mentre mi guardi, ipnotica
While you look at me, hypnotic
A me non dici no
You don't say no to me
Tu me dice si ma je vulesse cchiu nu no
You say yes but I want no one
Stamm a cena, te faje 'e foto
Stay at dinner, take a photo and take a photo
Nun saj l'ammore se more
You don't know love is dying
Nun saje l'ammore che provoca
You don't know the love it causes
Nguoll' a me staje comoda
Nguoll' is comfortable for me
Nguoll' 'a n'ato staje scomoda
Nguoll' 'a n'ato staje uncomfortable
Nun me dice maje no
Don't tell me maje no
