Anima latina Lyrics in English Lucio Battisti
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Anima latina by Lucio Battisti from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Scende ruzzolando
It goes tumbling down
Dai tetti di lamiera
From tin roofs
Indugiando sulla scritta
Lingering on the writing
'Bevi Coca Cola'
'Drink Coke'
Scende dai presepi vivi
He comes down from the live nativity scenes
Appena giunge sera
As evening comes
Quando musica e miseria
When music and misery
Diventan cosa sola
They become one thing
La gioia della vita
The joy of life
La vita dentro agli occhi dei bambini denutriti
Life inside the eyes of undernourished children
Allegramente malvestiti
Cheerily shabby
Che nessun detersivo potente può aver veramente sbiaditi
That no powerful detergent can have really faded
E corre sulle spiagge atlantiche
And runs on the Atlantic beaches
Seguendo il calcio di un pallone
Following the kick of a ball
Per finire nel grembo di grosse mamme antiche dalla pelle marrone
To end up in the wombs of big brown-skinned ancient mothers
E s'agita nel sangue delle genti dai canti e dalle risa rinvigorite
And stirred in the blood of the people by songs and reinvigorated laughter
Che nessuna forza, per quanto potente, può aver veramente piegate
That no force, however powerful, can truly bend
