Bambini Lyrics in English by Ex-Otago
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bambini by Ex-Otago from Italian to English.
Eravamo bambini
We were children
Ci davamo mille baci
We gave each other a thousand kisses
Ci volevamo bene
We loved each other
Ma non lo sapevamo bene
But we didn't know it well
A correre sui prati
Running on the fields
Le ginocchia sempre sanguinanti
Our knees always bleeding
E ridevamo sempre
And we always laughed
Piangevamo sempre
We always cried
Ma era bello così, perché
But it was nice like that, because
Guardavamo un mondo, sì
We looked at a world, yes
Ma non per quello che è, perché
But not for what it is, because
Perché era straordinario inseguire il pallone con te, perché
Because it was extraordinary to chase the ball with you, because
Perché eravamo sinceri, seguivamo l'istinto facendoci male
Because we were sincere, we followed instinct hurting ourselves
Non era facile capire che eravamo solo noi
It wasn't easy to understand that it was just us
Eravamo bambini
We were children
Sempre allegri, sempre disperati
Always happy, always desperate
Ma volevamo il mare
But we wanted the sea
Ma non sapevamo nuotare
But we didn't know how to swim
Con la bici giù dalle montagne
With the bike down from the mountains
Con la pioggia, con il sole delle due
With the rain, with the two o'clock sun
E il vento in faccia sempre
And the wind always in our faces
E innamorati sempre
And always in love
Era bello così, perché
It was nice like that, because
Guardavamo un mondo, sì
We looked at a world, yes
Ma non per quello che è, perché
But not for what it is, because
Perché era straordinario inseguire il pallone con te, perché
Because it was extraordinary to chase the ball with you, because
Perché eravamo sinceri, seguivamo l'istinto facendoci male
Because we were sincere, we followed instinct hurting ourselves
Non era facile capire che eravamo solo noi, perché
It wasn't easy to understand that it was just us, because
Guardavamo un mondo, sì
We looked at a world, yes
Ma non per quello che è, perché
But not for what it is, because
Perché era straordinario inseguire il pallone con te, perché
Because it was extraordinary to chase the ball with you, because
Perché eravamo sinceri, seguivamo l'istinto facendoci male
Because we were sincere, we followed instinct hurting ourselves
Non era facile capire che eravamo solo noi
It wasn't easy to understand that it was just us
Voglio ritornare bambino
I want to go back to being a child
Voglio ritornare bambino
I want to go back to being a child
Giocare con mio padre a nascondino
To play hide-and-seek with my father
Voglio ritornare bambino
I want to go back to being a child
Voglio ritornare bambino
I want to go back to being a child
Guardare le montagne dal finestrino
To look at the mountains from the window
