Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Giostra Della Memoria by Fiorella Mannoia from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Non m'addormaento
I don't fall asleep
Se non avevo certe favole fantastiche
If I didn't have certain fantastic fairy tales
E la mattina dopo
And the next morning
Trovavo il mondo ancora mio
I found the world still mine
Non mi confondevo
I wasn't confused
Se non vi vedevo ancora pronti per discutere
If I didn't see you were ready to discuss yet
E mi sembrava un gioco
And it seemed like a game to me
Chiedere sorridendo poi
Then ask smiling
Datevi un bacio, un bacio, dai
Give each other a kiss, a kiss, come on
E andavo via
And I was leaving
Ma mi faceva compagnia
But she kept me company
Ogni parola che sentivo pronunciare a casa mia
Every word I heard spoken in my house
Avevo già tutte le mie curiosità
I already had all my curiosities
Ma non sapevo di dolori, poesie, difficoltà
But I didn't know about pain, poems, difficulties
Non avevo limiti
I had no limits
E parlavo agli angeli
And I spoke to the angels
Non vi comprendevo
I didn't understand you
Se dicevate che domani
If you said tomorrow
Sarei stata io
It would have been me
Quella che se ne andava
The one who was leaving
E intanto il mondo accanto a voi cambiava
And meanwhile the world around you was changing
Se vi giudicavo
If I judged you
Usavo il metro dell'amore e della logica
I used the yardstick of love and logic
E intanto mi aspettava
And in the meantime he was waiting for me
La grande confusione che
The great confusion that
La vita avrebbe fatto in me
Life would have done in me
C'è un giorno poi
There is a day then
Che non è tutto come vuoi
Which is not all as you want
Tra le persone che non possono restare più con noi
Among the people who can no longer stay with us
E sento già
And I already feel it
Crescere dentro un'ansietà
Growing inside an anxiety
Per non sapere immaginare il peso della realtà
For not knowing how to imagine the weight of reality
Ma non ci sono limiti
But there are no limits
Per parlare agli angeli
To speak to the angels
Qualcuno ascolta
Someone is listening
