Balla, balla, ballerino
Dance, dance, dancer
Tutta la notte e al mattino
All night and in the morning
Non fermarti
Don't stop
Balla su una tavola tra due montagne
Dance on a board between two mountains
E se balli sulle onde del mare, io ti vengo a guardare
And if you dance on the waves of the sea, I'll come and watch you
Prendi il cielo con le mani
Take the sky with your hands
Vola in alto più degli aeroplani
It flies higher than airplanes
Non fermarti
Don't stop
Sono pochi gli anni, forse sono solo giorni
It's only a few years, maybe it's just days
E stan finendo tutti in fretta e in fila
And they're all finishing quickly and in line
Non ce n'è uno che ritorni
There isn't one that comes back
Balla, non aver paura
Dance, don't be afraid
Se la notte è fredda e scura
If the night is cold and dark
Non pensare alla pistola che hai puntato contro
Don't think about the gun you pointed at
Balla alla luce di mille sigarette e di una luna
Dance in the light of a thousand cigarettes and a moon
Che ti illumina a giorno
That lights you up like day
Balla il mistero
Dance the mystery
Di questo mondo che brucia in fretta
Of this world that burns quickly
Quello che ieri era vero
What was true yesterday
Dammi retta
Listen to me
Non sarà vero domani
It won't be true tomorrow
Ferma con quelle tue mani il treno Palermo-Francoforte
Stop the Palermo-Frankfurt train with those hands of yours
Per la mia commozione c'è un ragazzo al finestrino
To my emotion there is a boy at the window
Gli occhi verdi che sembrano di vetro
Green eyes that look like glass
Corri e ferma quel treno
Run and stop that train
Fallo tornare indietro
Make him go back
Balla anche per tutti i violenti
Also dance for all the violent
Veloci di mano e coi coltelli
Quick of hand and with knives
Accidenti
Damn
Se capissero vedendoti ballare
If they understood when they saw you dancing
Di esser morti da sempre, anche se possono respirare
Of having been dead forever, even if they can breathe
Vola e balla sul cuore malato
Fly and dance on the sick heart
Illuso, sconfitto, poi abbandonato
Deluded, defeated, then abandoned
Senza amore
Without love
Dell'uomo che confonde la luna con il sole
Of the man who confuses the moon with the sun
Senza avere coltelli in mano, ma nel suo povero cuore
Without having knives in his hand, but in his poor heart
Allora, vieni, angelo benedetto
So, come, blessed angel
Prova a mettere i piedi sul suo petto
Try putting your feet on his chest
E stancarti
And get tired
A ballare al ritmo del motore e alle grandi parole
To dance to the rhythm of the engine and to the great words
Di una canzone, canzone d'amore
Of a song, love song
Ecco il mistero
Here's the mystery
Sotto un cielo di ferro e di gesso
Under a sky of iron and plaster
Un uomo riesce ad amare lo stesso
A man can love anyway
E ama davvero
And he really loves
Senza nessuna certezza
Without any certainty
Che commozione, che tenerezza
What emotion, what tenderness
Uoh, uoh
Whoo, whoa
Ro, ru, ru, ro
Ro, ru, ru, ro
