Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Come un angelo by Gianna Nannini from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Rivedo quella bimba bionda
I see that blonde baby again
Scendere lenta le scale
Get down the stairs slowly
E poi mia madre dire vieni vieni c'è gente
And then my mother say come come there's people
Davanti ma me dei manichini
In front but me of mannequins
Si erano già messi comodi
They had already made themselves comfortable
E con le mani dietro io
And with my hands behind me
Vendevo il personaggio mio
I was selling my character
Larà larà larà
Larà larà larà
Io recitavo a memoria poesie
I used to memorize poems
E mi acclamavano mille bugie
And I was cheered a thousand lies
Tra tanti inchini tra forme inventate
Among many bows between invented forms
Le vere essenze si son travasate
The true essences have been
E resta quel coro che dice che sono che sono
And it remains that choir that says that they are that they are
Ma quale razza mai di angelo
But what kind ever of angel
Potevo essere io
It could have been me
In mezzo a un cielo che non era fatto per essere il mio
In the midst of a sky that was not made to be my
Spazzare tutto in un cantuccio
Sweep everything in a cantuccio
Far di quel mondo un cartoccio
Making that world a map
E dalla larga via
And from the wide street
Cercar la dimensione mia
Look for my size
Più in là più in là solo più in là
Further on just further
E poi scoprir che c'è un'altra poesia
And then find out that there's another poem
Se chiami gli altri per correre via
If you call the others to run away
Ad inventare una nuova canzone
Inventing a new song
Per cui saremo davvero persone
So we're really going to be people
Soltanto persone
Only people
E non essere più
And don't be anymore
Come angeli...... come angeli...
Like angels...... like angels..
