These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Con un gioco di specchi come a teatro
With a game of mirrors like in the theater
Un perfetto innocente diventa un ladro
A perfect innocent becomes a thief
E se intercettare una stella è un'acrobazia banale
And if intercepting a star is a trivial stunt
Meglio restare per terra e scavarsi una tana
Better to stay on the ground and dig a burrow
Che intanto è passata la notte, si è fatta mattina
In the meantime the night has passed and it has become morning
Per qualcuno domani la vita non sarà come prima
For some people tomorrow life won't be the same as before
E gira questa giostra, come gira
And this carousel turns, as it turns
Un fucile prova a prendere la mira
A rifle tries to take aim
E le lattine tutte in fila ad ammirare con invidia
And the cans all lined up to admire with envy
L'orso in braccio alla bambina
The bear in the little girl's arms
E gira la mia testa, come gira
And my head turns, as it turns
Quanto amore resta in piedi fermo in fila
How much love remains standing still in line
Siamo pezzi di collana strappati a una regina per la strada
We are pieces of a necklace torn from a queen on the street
Una commedia umana
A human comedy
Quanto pesa una piuma se dentro ha il cemento
How much does a feather weigh if it has cement inside
Quanto vale una vela in assenza di vento
How much is a sail worth in the absence of wind
Sai che non c'è una luce, solo una
You know there isn't a light, just one
Né una sola unità di misura
Nor a single unit of measurement
Ma è questo continuo cambiare che mi rassicura
But it is this continuous change that reassures me
E gira questa giostra, come gira
And this carousel turns, as it turns
Un fucile prova a prendere la mira
A rifle tries to take aim
E le lattine tutte in fila ad ammirare con invidia
And the cans all lined up to admire with envy
L'orso in braccio alla bambina
The bear in the little girl's arms
E gira la mia testa, come gira
And my head turns, as it turns
Quanto amore resta in piedi fermo in fila
How much love remains standing still in line
Siamo pezzi di collana strappati a una regina per la strada
We are pieces of a necklace torn from a queen on the street
Una commedia umana
A human comedy
Siamo foglie cadute vicine su quella panchina
We are fallen leaves close together on that bench
Onde che una dopo l'altra tornano verso la riva
Waves that one after the other return towards the shore
Siamo dei fuochi d'artificio esplosi in un nero di china
We are fireworks exploded in black ink
E intanto si è fatta mattina
And meanwhile it was morning
Per qualcuno domani la vita non sarà come prima
For some people tomorrow life won't be the same as before
E gira la mia testa, come gira
And my head turns, as it turns
Quanto amore resta in piedi fermo in fila
How much love remains standing still in line
Siamo pezzi di collana strappati a una regina per la strada
We are pieces of a necklace torn from a queen on the street
Una commedia umana
A human comedy
