C'ero quando sono nato
I was there when I was born
C'ero quando son cresciuto
I was there when I grew up
Zorro blek e braccobaldo
Zorro blek and braccobald
Belfagor e carosello
Belfagor and carousel
Ed hanno ucciso lavorini
And they killed jobs
E dopo niente è stato come prima
And after nothing was like before
C'ero sulla millecento
I was in my 1000s
Che mio padre urlava un po' a chiunque
That my father was yelling a little bit at anyone
C'ero la mia prima volta
I was there my first time
Non l'avevo neanche scelta
I hadn't even chosen it
Certo che era bella svelta
Of course it was nice quick
Non potevo mica perder
I couldn't lose
Tutto il tempo lì a tenere il tempo
All the time there to keep the time
Che fosse un mondo o solo fantasia
Whether it was a world or just fantasy
O quello di una batteria
Or that of a battery
Era sempre tempo
It was always time
C'ero nel 'settantasette
I was there in the 'seventy-seven
A mio modo e col mio passo
In my own way and with my pace
Il processo a de gregori
The trial of de gregori
C'ero coi police a reggio
I was there with the police in Reggio
C'erano due torri e un muro
There were two towers and a wall
E berlinguer e moro lì
And berlinguer and moor there
Tutti quegli scherzi che fa il tempo
All those jokes that makes time
Tutte quelle foto che non ho
All those photos I didn't
Ne ho scattate solo un po'
I just took a little bit of it
Non ne ho mai avuto il
I've never had the
Tutto il tempo lì a tenere il tempo
All the time there to keep the time
Che fosse il mondo o solo fantasia
Whether it was the world or just fantasy
O quello di una batteria
Or that of a battery
Era sempre tempo
It was always time
C'ero quando ho preso casa
I was there when I took home
C'ero molto poco e quindi poche scuse
There was very little and therefore few excuses
C'ero quando ho fatto male
I was there when I hurt
C'ero quando mi hanno fatto male
I was there when they hurt me
C'ero sempre nel mio viaggio
I was always there on my journey
L'occhio al finestrino
The Eye to the Window
E falcone e borsellino lì
And falcon and purse there
Tutto il tempo lì a tenere il tempo
All the time there to keep the time
Che fosse il mondo o solo fantasia
Whether it was the world or just fantasy
O quello di una batteria
Or that of a battery
Era sempre tempo
It was always time
Tutti quegli scherzi che fa il tempo
All those jokes that makes time
Tutte quelle foto che non ho
All those photos I didn't
Ne ho scattate solo un po'
I just took a little bit of it
Non ne avevo il tempo
I didn't have the time
