Quante Volte Ad Aspettarti Lyrics in English by Giordana Angi
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quante Volte Ad Aspettarti by Giordana Angi from Italian to English.
Adesso qui davanti c'è tua figlia
Now your daughter is here in front of you
Che stringe la tua mano
Holding your hand
Prova a rompere il silenzio
Tries to break the silence
Silenzio che è passato
Silence that has passed
Come l'acqua sotto i ponti
Like water under the bridges
Per tutti questi anni
For all these years
Quanti anni
How many years
Perché non me li racconti?
Why don't you tell me about them?
Adesso che non c'è più niente da capire
Now that there's nothing left to understand
Ti guardo dentro gli occhi e gli occhi non sanno mentire
I look into your eyes and eyes can't lie
Com'erano i capelli di mia madre da ragazza
What my mother's hair was like as a girl
Com'erano quei baci sotto il sole di un bel cielo in una piazza
What those kisses were like under the sun of a beautiful sky in a square
Quante volte ad aspettarti e tu
How many times waiting for you, and you
Dov'eri?
Where were you?
Quante notti sveglia e tu
How many nights awake, and you
Non c'eri
You weren't there
Avrei dovuto stringerti più forte senza mai lasciarti andare
I should've held you tighter without ever letting you go
Avrei voluto un bacio a mezzanotte il giorno prima di Natale
I would've wanted a kiss at midnight the day before Christmas
Farti capire che ho bisogno di mio padre
To make you understand that I need my father
Adesso che ti sto guardando in faccia
Now that I'm looking at you in the face
E che sulla mia strada dei tuoi passi non c'è ancora traccia
And that on my path there's still no trace of your steps
Sarebbe stupido provare del rancore
It would be stupid to feel resentment
Un seme resta un seme e chi lo pianta
A seed remains a seed and whoever plants it
Lo fa sempre per amore
Always does it for love
Quante volte ad aspettarti e tu
How many times waiting for you, and you
Dov'eri?
Where were you?
Quante notti sveglia e tu non c'eri
How many nights awake, and you weren't there
Avrei dovuto stringerti più forte senza mai lasciarti andare
I should've held you tighter without ever letting you go
Avrei voluto un bacio a mezzanotte il giorno prima di Natale
I would've wanted a kiss at midnight the day before Christmas
Farti capire che ho bisogno di mio padre
To make you understand that I need my father
E mi chiedo se ci pensi a volte ai primi passi
And I wonder if you sometimes think about the first steps
Che muovevo da bambina dentro ai tuoi vent'anni
That I took as a child in your twenties
Quanto tempo che è passato
How much time has passed
Te ne rendi conto?
Do you realize it?
Che tua figlia adesso è grande e gira per il mondo
That your daughter is grown now and travels the world
Quante volte ad aspettarti in quella casa vuota
How many times waiting for you in that empty house
Ma sapevo immaginare solo la tua schiena che si allontanava
But I could only imagine your back walking away
Senza dire niente
Without saying anything
Niente
Nothing
Avrei dovuto stringerti più forte senza mai lasciarti andare
I should've held you tighter without ever letting you go
Avrei voluto un bacio a mezzanotte il giorno prima di Natale
I would've wanted a kiss at midnight the day before Christmas
Farti capire che ho bisogno di mio padre
To make you understand that I need my father
Avrei bisogno di essere più forte invece resto qui a guardare
I'd need to be stronger, instead I just stand here watching
Avrei bisogno di tirare fuori quello che non riesco a dire
I'd need to get out what I can't say
Per smettere di stare male
To stop feeling bad
Di stare male
Of feeling bad
E adesso che non c'è più niente da capire
And now that there's nothing left to understand
Ti guardo dentro gli occhi
I look into your eyes
E gli occhi non sanno mentire
And eyes can't lie

Did you like this lyrics translation?
rancore — resentment
Rancore translates to "resentment" or "grudge". It's a strong emotional word that isn't as common as basic emotions like 'love' or 'sadness', making it stand out.
In the song, the singer reflects on a strained relationship with her father, stating, "Sarebbe stupido provare del rancore" (It would be stupid to feel resentment). This line reveals a mature perspective, choosing understanding over bitterness despite past hurts, which adds a profound layer to the song's narrative.
