Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Pezzo Di Pane by Fiorella Mannoia from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Una corona di spine
A crown of thorns
Metterai sulla mia testa
You will put on my head
E quando arriva la fine
And when the end comes
Aspetteremo seduti
We will wait seated
Vicino alla finestra
Near the window
E ci faremo risate se ancora da ridere resta
And we will laugh if there is still something to laugh about
Mi hai raccontato un romanzo
You told me a novel
Quando sai che una parola basta
When you know that one word is enough
Ed hai cambiato profumo
And you changed perfume
Ma sai che una traccia comunque sempre resta
But you know that a trace always remains
Sono cadute le bombe in soggiorno di casa nostra
Bombs fell in the living room of our house
Siamo i denti, siamo un pezzo di pane
We are the teeth, we are a piece of bread
Siamo stati storia ed ecco il finale
We were history and here is the ending
Niente applausi sul sipario che scende
No applause as the curtain falls
Scende solo la pioggia
Only the rain comes down
Ma non sembra importante
But it doesn't seem important
Forse coi ricordi riempi un secchio bucato
Maybe you fill a leaky bucket with memories
Forse qualche cosa ho imparato
Maybe I learned something
Forse e sono sincera
Maybe and I'm honest
Una croce d'oro pur sempre una croce resta
A golden cross is still a cross
E una corona d'alloro per celebrarti indosso cantando le tue gesta
And a laurel wreath to celebrate you by singing your deeds
Ed ad un cigno che vola affidato quello che resta
And what remains is entrusted to a flying swan
Pregherò, pregherò
I will pray, I will pray
Siamo i denti, siamo un pezzi di pane
We are teeth, we are pieces of bread
Siamo stati e questo è il finale
We were and this is the ending
Niente applausi sul sipario che scende
No applause as the curtain falls
Scende solo la pioggia
Only the rain comes down
Ma non sembra importante
But it doesn't seem important
Forse coi ricordi riempi un secchio bucato
Maybe you fill a leaky bucket with memories
Forse qualche cosa ho imparato
Maybe I learned something
Forse, e sono sincera
Maybe, and I'm honest
