Babbino Caro Lyrics in English by Gianna Nannini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Babbino Caro by Gianna Nannini from Italian to English.
Aiutami
Help me
A non piangere
Not to cry
Adesso siamo soli
Now we are alone
La rabbia ormai
The anger now
È cenere
Is ash
Mio eterno dittatore
My eternal dictator
Stai qui
Stay here
Stai qui
Stay here
E dammi il buon esempio
And set a good example for me
Non devi far vedere al cielo
You mustn't show heaven
Che hai paura oh oh
That you're scared oh oh
Babbo non l'avevi detto
Dad, you didn't say
Che finiva tutto
That everything would end
E mi lasciavi qui
And you'd leave me here
Babbo dammi ancora addosso
Dad, be hard on me again
La vita è un gioco rotto
Life is a broken game
Se non ci sei più
If you're no longer here
Stai giù
Stay down
Stai giù
Stay down
Fermiamo questo tempo
Let's stop this time
Ed io con la forza che ho di te
And I, with the strength I have from you
Non ti abbandono oh oh
I won't abandon you oh oh
Babbo non l'avevi detto
Dad, you didn't say
Che finiva tutto
That everything would end
E mi lasciavi qui
And you'd leave me here
Babbo stammi ancora addosso
Dad, stay close to me again
La vita mi fa freddo
Life makes me cold
Se non mi copri più
If you don't cover me anymore
E vai via dalle mani
And you slip from my hands
Babbino caro
Dear Dad
Accendo il sole per te
I light the sun for you
E non ti perderò
And I won't lose you
E la vita non è
And life isn't
Come un angelo che
Like an angel that
Si alza e danza sulla punta dei piedi
Rises and dances on tiptoes
E la vita che hai
And the life you have
E che vedi andar via
And that you see going away
Io vorrei ridartela come se fosse mia
I'd like to give it back to you as if it were mine
Babbo non l'avevi detto
Dad, you didn't say
Che finiva tutto
That everything would end
E mi lasciavi qui
And you'd leave me here
Babbo stammi ancora addosso
Dad, stay close to me again
La vita mi fa freddo
Life makes me cold
Se non mi copri più
If you don't cover me anymore
E vai via dalle mani
And you slip from my hands
Babbino caro
Dear Dad
Accendo il sole per te
I light the sun for you
E non ti perderò E non ti perderò e non ti perderò
And I won't lose you And I won't lose you and I won't lose you
