Sassi Lyrics in English by Gino Paoli
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sassi by Gino Paoli from Italian to English.
Sassi che il mare ha consumato
Stones that the sea has worn away
Sono le mie parole d'amore per te
Are my words of love for you
Io non t'ho saputo amare
I couldn't love you
Non ti ho saputo dare quel che volevi da me
I couldn't give you what you wanted from me
Ogni parola che ci diciamo è stata
Every word we say to each other has been
Detta mille volte
Said a thousand times
Ogni attimo che noi viviamo è stato
Every moment we live has been
Vissuto mille volte
Lived a thousand times
Sassi che il mare ha consumato
Stones that the sea has worn away
Sono le mie parole d'amore per te
Are my words of love for you
Sassi che il mare ha consumato
Stones that the sea has worn away
Sono le mie parole d'amore per te
Are my words of love for you
Io non t'ho saputo amare
I couldn't love you
Non ti ho saputo dare quel che volevi da me
I couldn't give you what you wanted from me
Ogni parola che ci diciamo è stata
Every word we say to each other has been
Detta mille volte
Said a thousand times
Ogni attimo che noi viviamo è stato
Every moment we live has been
Vissuto mille volte
Lived a thousand times
Sassi che il mare ha consumato
Stones that the sea has worn away
Sono le mie parole d'amore per te
Are my words of love for you
Sono le mie parole d'amore per te
Are my words of love for you

Did you like this lyrics translation?
consumato — worn away / consumed
Consumato comes from the verb consumare, meaning 'to consume', 'to wear out', or 'to use up'. While it can refer to literal consumption, in this context, it beautifully describes something being worn away or eroded over time.
In Gino Paoli's song, the lyrics open with "Sassi che il mare ha consumato" (Stones that the sea has worn away). This word sets a melancholic tone, comparing the erosion of stones by the sea to the wearing down of his words of love, suggesting a love that has diminished or been exhausted over time.
