Gian Antonio Lyrics in English Ex-Otago
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gian Antonio by Ex-Otago from Italian to English.
Mi chiamo Gian Antonio e sono un tipo strano
My name is Gian Antonio and I'm a strange guy
Io abito in un bosco e amo il mio lavoro
I live in the woods and I love my job
Sono alto trenta metri e a quasi sessant'anni
I am thirty meters tall and almost sixty years old
Mi sento disperato
I feel desperate
Un amore delicato, un amore a tutto tondo
A delicate love, an all-round love
Sono stufo di viaggiare restando fermo
I'm tired of traveling and staying still
Ho la luna a pochi metri e non la posso accarezzare
I have the moon a few meters away and I can't caress it
Mi sento di morire
I feel like dying
Conifere pettegole, cinghiali prepotenti
Gossip conifers, bully boars
Son stufo di questa foresta
I'm tired of this forest
Voglio un tuffo nel presente
I want a dive into the present
Guardare il mondo tra le sue fronde
Looking at the world between its branches
Ma come posso fare per cominciare
But how can I get started
Una betulla così bianca è difficile da trovare
Such a white birch is difficult to find
Son disposto a una pazzia, son disposto a pagare
I'm willing to splurge, I'm willing to pay
Con lei vorrei partire
I would like to leave with her
Un'idea un po' drammatica, ma forse l'unica
A somewhat dramatic idea, but perhaps the only one
Segatemi alla base nella sua direzione
Saw me at the base in its direction
Prendete le misure, non voglio sbagliare
Take measurements, I don't want to make mistakes
E atterrando spero di non farle male
And when I land I hope I don't hurt her
Io abete rosso mi sono innamorato di te
I spruce fell in love with you
Tu betulla bianca mi sorridi e stai ferma
You white birch smile at me and stay still
Fu così che Gian Antonio cadde a terra
Thus it was that Gian Antonio fell to the ground
Pensò che aspettare una vita, tutto sommato
He thought he'd wait a lifetime, all things considered
Gli sia servito per compiere questo salto
It helped him to make this leap
E da sdraiato tra le sue fronde
And lying among its branches
Il suo bosco gli parve il posto più bello del mondo
His forest seemed to him to be the most beautiful place in the world
