Coda di Lupo Lyrics in English Fabrizio De André

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Coda di Lupo by Fabrizio De André from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quando ero piccolo m'innamoravo di tutto, correvo dietro ai cani
When I was little I fell in love with everything, I ran after dogs
E da marzo a febbraio mio nonno vegliava
And from March to February my grandfather watched
Sulla corrente di cavalli e di buoi
On the current of horses and oxen
Sui fatti miei e sui fatti tuoi
On my facts and your facts
E al dio degli inglesi non credere mai
And to the god of the English never believe
E quando avevo duecento lune e forse qualcuna è di troppo
And when I had two hundred moons and maybe some of them are too
Rubai il primo cavallo e mi fecero uomo
I stole the first horse and they made me a man
Cambiai il mio nome in 'coda di lupo'
I changed my name to 'wolf's tail'
Cambiai il mio pony con un cavallo muto
I changed my pony to a mute horse
E al loro dio perdente non credere mai
And to their losing god never believe
E fu nella notte della lunga stella con la coda
And it was on the night of the long star with the tail
Che trovammo mio nonno crocifisso sulla chiesa
That we found my grandfather crucified on the church
Crocifisso con forchette che si usano a cena
Crucifix with forks used for dinner
Era sporco e pulito di sangue e di crema
It was dirty and clean of blood and cream
E al loro dio goloso non credere mai
And to their greedy god never believe
E forse avevo diciott'anni e non puzzavo più di serpente
And maybe I was 18 and I didn't smell like a snake anymore
Possedevo una spranga, un cappello e una fionda
I owned a slingshot, a hat and a slingshot
E una notte di gala con un sasso a punta
And a gala night with a pointed rock
Uccisi uno smoking e glielo rubai
I killed a tuxedo and stole it from him
E al dio della scala non credere mai
And to the god of scale never believe
Poi tornammo in brianza per l'apertura della caccia al bisonte
Then we went back to brianza for the opening of bison hunting
Ci fecero l'esame dell'alito e delle urine
They gave us the breath and urine test
Ci spiegò il meccanismo un poeta andaluso
An Andalusian poet explained the mechanism to us
'per la caccia al bisonte disse il numero è chiuso'
'for bison hunting said the number is closed'
E a un dio a lieto fine non credere mai
And to a god with a happy ending never believe
Ed ero già vecchio quando vicino a roma, a little big horn
And I was already old when near rome, at little big horn
Capelli corti generale ci parlò all'università
General short hair spoke to us at university
Dei fratelli tutte blu che seppellirono le asce
Brothers all blue who buried their axes
Ma non fumammo con lui, non era venuto in pace
But we didn't smoke with him, he hadn't come in peace
E a un dio fatti il culo non credere mai
And to a god fuck your ass never believe
E adesso che ho bruciato venti figli sul mio letto di sposo
And now that I've burned twenty children on my groom's bed
Che ho scaricato la mia rabbia in un teatro di posa
That I discharged my anger into a laying theatre
Che ho imparato a pescare con le bombe a mano
That I learned to fish with hand grenades
Che mi hanno scolpito in lacrime sull'arco di traiano
That they carved me in tears on the arch of Trajan
Con un cucchiaio di vetro scavo nella mia storia
With a glass spoon dig into my story
Ma colpisco un po' a casaccio perché non ho più memoria
But I hit a little bit on the back because I don't have a memory anymore
E a un dio, e a un dio
And to a god, and to a god
E a un dio
And to a god
E a un dio senza fiato non credere mai
And to a breathless god never believe
