Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il peso della valigia by Ligabue from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Hai fatto tutta quella strada per arrivare fin qui
You've come all that way to get here
E ti è toccato partire bambina
And you had to leave as a child
Con una piccola valigia di cartone
With a small cardboard suitcase
Che hai cominciato a riempire
That you started filling
Due foglie di quella radura che non c'era già più
Two leaves of that clearing that was already gone
Rossetti finti e un astuccio di gemme
Fake lipsticks and a case of gems
E la valigia ha cominciato a pesare
And the suitcase began to weigh
E dovevi ancora partire
And you still had to leave
E ti sei data e ti sei presa qualche cosa chissà
And you've given up and you've taken something who knows
Ma le parole che ti sono avanzate
But the words that have advanced to you
Sono finite tutte nella valigia
They all ended up in the suitcase
E lì ci sono restate
And there we stayed
Sole pioggia neve e tempesta
Sun rain snow and storm
Nella valigia e sulla tua testa
In your suitcase and on your head
E gambe per andare
And legs to go
E bocca per baciare
And mouth to kiss
Hai fatto tutta quella strada
You've been all that way
Per arrivare fin qui
To get here
Ma adesso forse ti puoi riposare
But now maybe you can rest
C'è un bagno caldo e qualcosa di fresco
There is a hot bath and something fresh
Da bere e da mangiare
Drink and eat
E piano piano ti faccio vedere
And slowly I'll show you
C'erano solo quattro farfalle
There were only four butterflies
Un po' più dure a morire
A little harder to die
