Intro
Cominciai a sognare anch'io insieme a loro
I started dreaming with them too
Poi l'anima d'improvviso prese il volo
Then the soul suddenly took flight
Da ragazzo spiare i ragazzi giocare
As a boy spying on the boys play
Al ritmo balordo del tuo cuore malato
At the balordo rhythm of your sick heart
E ti viene la voglia di uscire e provare
And you want to go out and try
Che cosa ti manca per correre al prato
What you're missing to run to the lawn
E ti tieni la voglia, e rimani a pensare
And you keep the urge, and you stay and think
Come diavolo fanno a riprendere fiato
How the hell do they catch their breath
Da uomo avvertire il tempo sprecato
As a man warn of wasted time
A farti narrare la vita dagli occhi
To make you narrate life from the eyes
E mai poter bere alla coppa d'un fiato
And never be able to drink at the cup of breath
Ma a piccoli sorsi interrotti
But to small interrupted siss
E mai poter bere alla coppa d'un fiato
And never be able to drink at the cup of breath
Ma a piccoli sorsi interrotti
But to small interrupted siss
Eppure un sorriso io l'ho regalato
Yet i gave him a smile
E ancora ritorna in ogni sua estate
And he still returns in every summer
Quando io la guidai, o fui forse guidato
When I drove it, or was I perhaps driven
A contarle i capelli con le mani sudate
To count her hair with sweaty hands
Non credo che chiesi promesse al suo sguardo
I don't think I asked for promises at his eyes
Non mi sembra che scelsi il silenzio o la voce
I don't think I chose silence or voice
Quando il cuore stordì e ora no, non ricordo
When my heart stunned and now not, I don't remember
Se fu troppo sgomento o troppo felice
If he was too dismayed or too happy
E il cuore impazzì e ora no, non ricordo
And my heart went crazy and now i don't remember
Da quale orizzonte sfumasse la luce
From which horizon the light faded
E fra lo spettacolo dolce dell'erba
And among the sweet spectacle of grass
Fra lunghe carezze finite sul volto
Between long caresses ended up on the face
Quelle sue cosce color madreperla
Those mother-of-pearl thighs of hers
Rimasero forse un fiore non colto
They remained perhaps an uneased flower
Ma che la baciai, questo sì, lo ricordo
But that I kissed her, this yes, I remember it
Col cuore ormai sulle labbra
With heart now on the lips
Ma che la baciai, per dio sì, lo ricordo
But that I kissed her, for God's goodness, I remember him
E il mio cuore le restò sulle labbra
And my heart rested on her lips
Outro
E l'anima d'improvviso prese il volo
And the soul suddenly took flight
Ma non mi sento di sognare con loro
But I don't feel like dreaming with them
No, non mi riesce di sognare con loro
No, I can't dream with them
