Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sotto Le Lenzuola by Gigi D'Alessio from Italian to English.
Sotto voc nu brivid, vaseme
In a whisper, a shiver, kiss me
Sei la cosa più cara che ho
You're the dearest thing I've got
Ma pecché c'amm sempe annasconnre
But why do we always have to hide
Primm tu po' saglj ij ropp 'e te
First you, then I'm right behind you
Ce verimm annascuse doj vot a semmana
We meet in secret twice a week
E nun sacc chiu quala scusa aggia envntà
And I don't know what excuse to invent anymore
Torn a cas nervus tutt 'e vot sto male
I go home nervous, every time I feel bad
Pecché nsiem a chell nun me fir 'e sta
Because with her I can't stay
Par a storij 'e nu film
It feels like a movie story
A storij 'e na canzon 'e tantu tiemp fa'
Like the plot of an old song
Questa ormai è una routine
By now this is routine
Ma cu te è comm si ancor avess accummincià
But with you it's like we've just begun again
Le lenzuola arrotolate
The sheets all tangled up
Mezza scummigliata, staj durmenn' tu
Half uncovered, you're sleeping
'O facesse n'ata vota
I'd do it all over again
Ma dint'a nuttat song' 'e chella llà
But at night I belong to her
Pur si è tard a casa aggia turnà
Even if it's late I gotta go home
Ramm' 'a cammis che 'a annascunn'a ffa'
Hand me my shirt, what's the use hiding it
Già tutt' 'e sere t lass' 'stu core, 'e me che ne a fa'
Every night I leave you this heart, what else can I do
Tien n'ati tre minuti si nun t decid t rimang ccà
Take another three minutes if you can't decide to stay here
Miettatill' 'stu vestito ca nun c sta 'o tiempo manc 'e t truccà
Put this dress on, there's not even time to put makeup on
Ma comme chiov 'ncopp' a 'sta città
But how it rains over this city
Pure 'stu cielo c vo' fa restà
Even this sky wants us to stay
Ma 'o temporale però fa paura, a chi stamm'aspettà
But the storm is scary, who are we waiting for
Pell scura, cu te par 'e sta all'Avana, jet lag, fuso orario
Dark skin, with you it feels like Havana, jet lag, time zone
Rint a 'na stanz chius vintiquat
Locked in a room twenty-four hours
'Ngopp a vintiquatt sto' tutt' o cuntrarj
Around the clock I'm totally upside down
Frate' so' desaparecido
Bro, I've gone missing
Si m sfasterj cagn vit
If I get bored I change life
Nun voglj maj a dij ca m'abbitua
I never wanna say I'm getting used to it
Chill fra me e te è n'ammor proibit
What's between you and me is a forbidden love
È n'ammor proibit
It's a forbidden love
Le lenzuola arrotolate
The sheets all tangled up
Mezza scummigliata, staj durmenn' tu
Half uncovered, you're sleeping
'O facesse n'ata vota
I'd do it all over again
Ma dint'a nuttat song' 'e chella llà
But at night I belong to her
Pur si è tard a casa aggia turnà
Even if it's late I gotta go home
Ramm' 'a cammis che 'a annascunn'a ffa'
Hand me my shirt, what's the use hiding it
Già tutt' 'e sere t lass' 'stu core, 'e me che ne a fa'
Every night I leave you this heart, what else can I do
Tien n'ati tre minuti si nun t decid t rimang ccà
Take another three minutes if you can't decide to stay here
Miettatill' 'stu vestito ca nun c sta 'o tiempo manc 'e t truccà
Put this dress on, there's not even time to put makeup on
Ma comme chiov 'ncopp' a 'sta città
But how it rains over this city
Pure 'stu cielo c vo' fa restà
Even this sky wants us to stay
Ma 'o temporale però fa paura, a chi stamm'aspettà
But the storm is scary, who are we waiting for
