Gelosia Lyrics in English by Gianna Nannini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gelosia by Gianna Nannini from Italian to English.
Se ti guardo dentro ai sogni
If I watch you in your dreams
Mentre stai dormendo che cos'è?
While you're sleeping, what is it?
Non è la gelosia
It's not jealousy
E esci dalla doccia
And you come out of the shower
E poi ti annuso mentre bevi il tuo caffè
And then I smell you while you drink your coffee
Non è la gelosia?
Isn't it jealousy?
Dimmi di chi sei, ah ah ah ah
Tell me who you belong to, ah ah ah ah
Dammi gli occhi tuoi
Give me your eyes
Se ti vengo a prendere la sera
If I come to pick you up in the evening
Quando non mi aspetti mai
When you never expect me
Non è la gelosia?
Isn't it jealousy?
Se io cerco in frasi trasparenti
If I look in transparent phrases
Sempre una parola in più
Always one more word
Non è la gelosia?
Isn't it jealousy?
Dimmi come mai
Tell me how come
Ti fa piacere forse è quel che vuoi
You like it, maybe it's what you want
Gelosia che ti porta via
Jealousy that takes you away
Non ti fa dormir la gelosia
Jealousy doesn't let you sleep
Gelosia che sei la vita mia
Jealousy, you are my life
E quella volta è stata una bugia
And that time it was a lie
Se non è la gelosia
If it's not jealousy
Quale fuoco nella notte accende la tua fantasia
What fire in the night ignites your fantasy
Ma se poi mi accorgo che mi ascolti nel telefono chi c'è
But if then I notice you listen to me, who's on the phone?
Non è la gelosia?
Isn't it jealousy?
E se quando scivolo nel sogno dallo specchio vedo te
And if when I slip into a dream, I see you in the mirror
Non è la gelosia?
Isn't it jealousy?
Dimmi che lo sai, ah ah ah ah
Tell me you know it, ah ah ah ah
Ma non lo dire mai
But never say it
Gelosia che ti porta via
Jealousy that takes you away
Non ti fa dormir la gelosia
Jealousy doesn't let you sleep
Gelosia che sei la vita mia
Jealousy, you are my life
E quella volta è stata una pazzia
And that time it was madness
Se non è la gelosia
If it's not jealousy
Quale fuoco nella notte accende la tua fantasia
What fire in the night ignites your fantasy
