Dove Fermano I Treni Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dove Fermano I Treni by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Binario tre un rapido con destinazione andar via
Platform three an express train with destination to leave
Per quelli che ci credono che spostarsi
for those who believe that moving
Li salvi comunque sia ma
saves them no matter what... but
Due militari su una panchina
two soldiers on a bench
Voglia di donna, voglia di casa, voglia ora
longing for a woman, longing for home, longing now
Il fante di spade fa l'occhiolino
the jack of spades winks
Vive nei cessi e spesso le ha prese tante e ancora
lives in sh*tholes and often got beaten up a lot and still
Dove fermano i treni
Where trains stop
Parte un pò di vita, da
a bit of life starts, from
Dove fermano i treni
where trains stop
E proprio là dove fermano i treni
and right there where trains stop
Parte sempre un altro varietà
another variety show always starts
Parte sempre un nuovo varietà
a new variety show always starts
Chi parte e chi arriva e chi viene lì solo a guardare
Those who leave and those who arrive and those who come there just to watch
Protagonisti anonimi, sì ma interpretazione reale
anonymous protagonists, yes but a real performance
Un vagabondo nel suo cappotto
a vagabond in his coat
Brucia il giornale usato per letto
burns the newspaper used as a bed
E fischia la Carmen
and whistles Carmen
Uno nervoso in sala d'aspetto
someone nervous in the waiting room
È lì da giorni senza biglietto, piange e dorme
has been there for days without a ticket, cries and sleeps
Dove fermano i treni
Where trains stop
Parte un po di vita, da
a bit of life starts, from
Dove, fermano i treni
where, trains stop
E proprio là dove fermano i treni
and right there where trains stop
Parte sempre un altro varietà
another variety show always starts
Parte sempre un nuovo varietà
a new variety show always starts
La cameriera del bar che ogni tanto ammira
The bar waitress who every now and then admires
Un panorama di Cuba su una cartolina
a view of Cuba on a postcard
Poi asciuga il bicchiere ed il naso e, sospira
then wipes the glass and her nose and, sighs
Un juke box rovinato e buono da buttare
A ruined jukebox and ready to be thrown away
Suona sempre una vecchia canzone d'amore
always plays an old love song
Per un tipo con tanta moneta
for a guy with a lot of money
E qualcosa da ricordare
and something to remember
Poi c'è quella che prima chiede se hai da fumare
Then there's the one who first asks if you have a cigarette
Poi ti chiede se hai voglia di fare l'amore
then asks you if you want to make love
Ed infine ti prega di darle qualcosa, sta, sta male
and finally begs you to give her something, she's, she's unwell
E sul vecchio cartello di Bitter Campari
And on the old Bitter Campari sign
Su colonne, vetrine ed infine sui muri
on columns, shop windows and finally on the walls
Passi, metti la firma ed infine e vai fuori
you pass by, leave your mark and finally you leave
Parte un pò di vita, da
A bit of life starts, from
Dove fermano i treni
where trains stop
Parte un pò di vita, da
a bit of life starts, from
Dove fermano i treni
where trains stop
E proprio là dove fermano i treni
and right there where trains stop
Parte sempre un altro varietà
another variety show always starts
Parte sempre un nuovo varietà
a new variety show always starts

Did you like this lyrics translation?
varietà — variety show / cabaret
Varietà literally means "variety" but in Italian, it often refers to a "variety show" or "cabaret". It evokes images of a theatrical performance with different acts.
In the context of the song, Ligabue uses varietà to describe the diverse and often dramatic human experiences unfolding at a train station. He sings, "parte sempre un altro varietà" (another variety show always begins), suggesting that the station is a stage where countless unique stories and lives play out, full of unexpected turns and characters, much like a theatrical performance.
