E non sarò un'artista
And I won't be an artist
Ma una femmina ottimista, sì
But an optimistic female, yes
Non mi piace implorare
I don't like begging
Non mi metto in ginocchio
I don't get on my knees
Ma ho una grazia da domandare
But I have a favor to ask
Ho una grazia da domandare
I have a favor to ask
Io proprio non lo sapevo
I really didn't know
Che l'amore fosse anche veleno
That love was also poison
Io proprio non lo vedevo che una barca qualunque lo portava via
I just didn't see him being taken away by any boat
Me lo portava via
He took it away from me
So curare le rose
I know how to take care of roses
Aggiustare le cose, io so
Fix things, I know
Poi aspetto il tramonto con gli occhi chiusi
Then I wait for the sunset with my eyes closed
Alla distesa del mare e del mondo
To the expanse of the sea and the world
Accendo luci e canzoni
I turn on lights and songs
Per continuare a sperare
To continue to hope
Ecco in altre parole mi potrebbe vedere
In other words, he could see me
Se pensasse di ritornare
If he was thinking of returning
Se pensasse di ritornare
If he was thinking of returning
Ecco a cosa mi serve
That's what I need it for
Questo trucco sugli occhi
This eye makeup
Il respiro è tranquillo se una bocca lo bacia
The breath is calm if a mouth kisses it
Ma non c'è nessuno che mi tocchi
But there is no one to touch me
Qui non c'è nessuno che mi tocchi
There is no one here to touch me
E non mi sento sicura
And I don't feel safe
Nelle notti affannate
On troubled nights
Però in nome del cielo è solo vento che soffia
But in the name of heaven it's just the wind blowing
E parole presto dimenticate
And words soon forgotten
Qui è la vita ordinaria
Here is ordinary life
Dove tutti hanno un sogno
Where everyone has a dream
E se qualcuno lo vuole il tuo sogno
And if someone wants your dream
Allora tutto si calma intorno
Then everything calms down around
Allora tutto si calma intorno
Then everything calms down around
E non sarò un'artista
And I won't be an artist
Ma una femmina ottimista, sì
But an optimistic female, yes
Non mi piace implorare
I don't like begging
Non mi metto in ginocchio
I don't get on my knees
Ma ho una grazia da domandare
But I have a favor to ask
Ho qualcuno da far ritornare
I have someone to bring back
Ho qualcuno da far ritornare
I have someone to bring back
