These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Perché non sei una mela
Because you're not an apple
Con la buccia tutta lucida e croccante?
With the skin all glossy and crispy?
Io ti vorrei una mela
I'd like you an apple
Vera, semplice, spontanea, rilassante
True, simple, spontaneous, relaxing
E non un orologio dal meccanismo sofisticato
And not a watch with a sophisticated mechanism
Complicato, incomprensibile
Complicated, incomprehensible
Non generale tattico, romantico, crudele
Not general tactical, romantic, cruel
Né schiava umile, né santa con candele
Neither humble slave nor saint with candles
Io ti vorrei una mela
I'd like you an apple
Bella liscia, senza spine, luccicante
Beautiful smooth, spineless, shimmering
Perché non sei una mela
Because you're not an apple
Naturalmente forte, viva e indipendente?
Naturally strong, alive and independent?
Non una mosca che si avvicina
Not a approaching fly
E quando fai per prenderla s'allontana
And when you do to get it, it moves away
Non una formula chimica eccitante
Not an exciting chemical formula
Di gelosia più frasi come 'non sono tua!'
Of jealousy plus phrases like 'I'm not yours!'
Perché non sei una sfera
Because you're not a sphere
Rotondamente logica, affascinante?
Roundly logical, charming?
Perché non sei una sfera
Because you're not a sphere
Dove guardare il mio futuro sorridente?
Where to look at my smiling future?
Certo sospetti un imbroglio!
Of course you suspect cheating!
Perciò non sei come voglio!
So you're not what I want!
Che sia così forse meglio?
That it's so maybe better?
E chi lo sa? chi lo sa?
And who knows? Who knows?
Comunque io ti vorrei una mela
Anyway I'd like you an apple
Perché non sei una mela?
Why aren't you an apple?
