Affogo, Baby Lyrics in English by Francesco Renga
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Affogo, Baby by Francesco Renga from Italian to English.
È una storia poco pratica, uh uh uh
It's an impractical story, uh uh uh
Facile come una favola ma credimi
Easy as a fairy tale but believe me
Non è così
It's not like that
E il tempo che ci spetta
And the time that awaits us
Finisce qui
Ends here
A me il sole da fastidio e sai che
The sun bothers me and you know that
Le giornate troppo limpide mi uccidono
The overly clear days kill me
E non so com'è
And I don't know how it is
Ma il tempo che ci spetta Finisce qui
But the time that awaits us ends here
Che cerco nelle tasche
That I search in my pockets
Il mio free-drink
My free drink
O baby, baby
Oh baby, baby
Affogo, baby
I'm drowning, baby
L'amore avrà i miei occhi
Love will have my eyes
Ma non assomiglia a me
But it doesn't resemble me
Uh, baby, baby
Uh, baby, baby
È solo un mal di testa
It's just a headache
Cercherò di smettere
I'll try to stop
Smetti pure di sognare, amore
Go ahead and stop dreaming, love
Prendi al volo l'occasione e lascia perdere
Take the chance and let it go
Meglio per te
Better for you
Per non andare a fondo, io
So I don't sink, I
Cercherò Ancora una risposta
I'll search for one more answer
Che non ho
That I don't have
