Hai Un Momento, Dio? Lyrics in English by Ligabue
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hai Un Momento, Dio? by Ligabue from Italian to English.
C'ho un po' di traffico nell'anima
I've got a bit of traffic in my soul
Non ho capito che or'è
I haven't understood what time it is
C'ho il frigo vuoto
My fridge is empty
Ma voglio parlare perciò, paghi te
But I want to talk, so you pay
Che tu sia un angelo od un diavolo
Whether you're an angel or a devil
Ho tre domande per te
I have three questions for you
Chi prende l'Inter, dove mi porti e poi dì
Who's buying Inter, where are you taking me, and then tell me
Soprattutto perché?
Above all, why?
Perché ci dovrà essere un motivo, no?
Because there must be a reason, right?
Perché forse la vita la capisce chi è più pratico
Because maybe life is understood by those who are more practical
Hai un momento Dio?
Do you have a moment, God?
No, perché sono qua, insomma ci sarei anch'io
No, because I'm here, I'm here too, you know
Hai un momento Dio?
Do you have a moment, God?
O te o chi per te, avete un attimo per me?
Either you or whoever represents you, do you have a moment for me?
Li pago tutti io i miei debiti
I pay all my debts myself
Se rompo pago per tre
If I break it, I pay for three
Quanto mi costa una risposta da te
How much does an answer from you cost me?
Di su, quant'è?
Tell me, how much is it?
Ma tu sei lì per non rispondere
But you're there not to answer
E indossi un gran bel gilet
And you're wearing a really nice vest
Non bevi niente o io non ti sento, com'è?
You don't drink anything or I don't hear you, what's up?
Perché?
Why?
Perché ho qualche cosa in cui credere
Because I have something to believe in
Perché non riesco mica a ricordare bene che cos'è
Because I can't really remember what it is
Hai un momento Dio?
Do you have a moment, God?
No perché sono qua, se vieni sotto offro io
No, because I'm here, if you come down I'll treat
Hai un momento Dio?
Do you have a moment, God?
Lo so che fila c'è ma tu hai un attimo per me
I know there's a queue but do you have a moment for me?
Nel mio stomaco son sempre solo
In my stomach I'm always alone
Nel tuo stomaco sei sempre solo
In your stomach you're always alone
Ciò che sento, ciò che senti
What I feel, what you feel
Non lo sapranno mai
They'll never know it
Almeno dì se il viaggio è unico
At least tell me if the journey is one-way
E se c'è il sole di là
And if there's sun over there
Se stai ridendo, io non mi offendo però, perché
If you're laughing, I won't get offended, but why?
Perché nemmeno una risposta ai miei perché
Why not even an answer to my whys?
Perché non mi fai fare almeno un giro col tuo bel gilet
Why don't you let me at least take a turn with your nice vest?
Hai un momento Dio?
Do you have a moment, God?
No perché sono qua, insomma ci sarei anch'io
No, because I'm here, I'm here too, you know
Hai un momento Dio?
Do you have a moment, God?
O te o chi per te avete un attimo per me?
Either you or whoever represents you, do you have a moment for me?

gilet — vest / waistcoat
Gilet is an interesting word because it's a French loanword used in Italian, referring to a vest or waistcoat. It's not an everyday word you'd expect to hear in a rock song.
In the lyrics, the singer asks God, "Non mi fai fare almeno un giro col tuo bel gilet?" (Won't you at least let me have a ride with your beautiful vest?). This line is quite intriguing, as it personifies God and suggests a desire to experience or understand divine perspective, perhaps by metaphorically
