Era il tempo in cui cominciavo a sentire musica
It was the time when I started hearing music
Ascoltavo un signore che aveva una voce così
I was listening to a gentleman who had a voice like that
Non capivo che lingua parlasse ma mi era simpatica
I didn't understand what language she spoke but I liked her
E riempiva la stanza di note e di poesia
And he filled the room with notes and poetry
Tu eri lì con me che cercavi d'insegnarmela
You were there with me trying to teach me
Mi dicevi: 'Hai le mani ancora piccole'
You told me: 'Your hands are still small'
Ma che accordi complicati ha il Sud America
But what complicated agreements South America has
Certo che a vedere te sembrava facile
Of course, looking at you, it seemed easy
Era il tempo in cui cominciavo a sentire musica
It was the time when I started hearing music
Insieme a te
Together with you
Ti ricordi quella velina sopra il pettine
Do you remember that tissue paper over the comb
Ci cantavo e venivano suoni un po' kasoo
I sang to it and it sounded a bit kasoo
Tu suonavi Bill Evans dicendo: 'Quest'uomo è un fenomeno
You played Bill Evans saying, 'This man is a phenomenon
Certamente, ma qui ce n'è un altro e sei proprio tu'
Of course, but here there is another one and it's really you'
E stavi lì con me a giocare con la musica
And you were there with me playing with the music
E pensavo, la mia vita forse è questa qui
And I thought, maybe my life is this one
Ma tu giurami che un giorno suonerò così
But you swear to me that one day I will play like this
'Suoni così bene che mi vien da ridere'
'You play so well it makes me laugh'
Era il tempo in cui cominciavo ad amar la musica
It was the time when I began to love music
E amavo te
And I loved you
E adesso sono grande, è un bel lavoro fare musica
And now I'm grown up, it's a good job making music
Sempre in giro, come adesso che sto a Napoli
Always on the go, like now that I'm in Naples
Se vedessi quanto affetto, non lo immagini
If you saw how much affection, you wouldn't imagine it
È una festa e poi sentissi come cantano
It's a party and then you could hear how they sing
'Che sorpresa vederti arrivare
'What a surprise to see you arrive
Ma un po' ti aspettavo, siediti qui
But I was waiting for you a little, sit here
Ma da quando tu sei partito non c'è più musica
But since you left there's no more music
Sta tranquillo, lo so che col tempo mi passerà
Don't worry, I know it will pass over time
Scrivo molto ma quello che scrivo è così malinconico
I write a lot but what I write is so melancholy
Come questa canzone, chissà se ti piacerà
Like this song, who knows if you'll like it
Dimmi dove sei
Tell me where you are
Suoni ancora ma per gli angeli
You play again but for the angels
E ti siederanno intorno, li farai cantare
And they'll sit around you, you'll make them sing
Suona forte così ti potrò sentire
Play loudly so I can hear you
Noi quaggiù col naso in su a capire cosa sia
We are down here with our noses up to understand what it is
Sarà il tempo in cui finalmente farai il tuo concerto, anima mia'
It will be the time when you finally have your concert, my soul'
