Meri Luis Lyrics in English Lucio Dalla

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Meri Luis by Lucio Dalla from Italian to English.
Il regista aspettava la star al ristorante
The director was waiting for the star at the restaurant
Sembrava un morto con in mano un bicchiere
He looked like a corpse with a glass in his hand
Il ragazzo lavorava in un bar
The boy worked in a bar
Ed aspettava che il padrone se ne andasse
And was waiting for the owner to leave
Per potersi sedere
So he could sit down
Il dentista aspettava il sabato
The dentist was waiting for Saturday
Con la moglie e tre figli
With his wife and three kids
Era già pronto per il mare
He was already set for the sea
Il taxista al posteggio aspettava
The cabbie at the stand was waiting
Qualcuno da portare
For somebody to drive
E chi l'ha vista la ragazza
And who saw the girl
Con le grandi tette
With the big t*ts
Che tutte le sere alle sette e un quarto
Who every night at a quarter past seven
Aspettava l'autobus guardando in alto?
Waited for the bus looking up?
E tutti quanti ad aspettare
And everybody waiting
A cercar di fermare
Trying to stop
Questa vita che passa accanto e con le
This life that passes by and with its
Mani ti saluta e fa 'bye bye'
Hands wave at you and say 'bye bye'
Questa vita un po' umida di pianto
This life a bit damp with tears
Con i giorni messi male
With days gone wrong
Vista dall'alto sembra un treno
Seen from above it looks like a train
Che non finisce mai
That never ends
Neppure se è coperta dalla neve o se
Not even if it's covered by snow or if it
Sparisce sotto terra e non si vede
Disappears underground and can't be seen
Si ferma un attimo
It pauses for a moment
Il regista, il ragazzo, il dentista
The director, the boy, the dentist
Il taxista, la ragazza, la star
The cabbie, the girl, the star
Scaraventati in mezzo al traffico
Flung into the middle of traffic
Ma, Dio mio
But, my God
E se si provasse a trattenere il respiro?
What if we tried to hold our breath?
Se si cercasse
If we tried
Se si provasse di fermare il giro?
If we tried to stop the ride?
Il regista, stanco di aspettare
The director, tired of waiting
Appena vista la star l'ha mandata a cagare
As soon as he saw the star, told her to f*ck off
Il ragazzo ha lasciato lì di lavorare
The boy quit right there
E, agguantato un treno, è corso fino al mare
And, grabbing a train, ran to the sea
Il dentista si è innamorato di un dente
The dentist fell in love with a tooth
Lo accarezza, non vuol fargli del male
He caresses it, doesn't want to hurt it
Il taxista nella macchina non ha il cliente
The cabbie in his car hasn't got a fare
Ma una canna per andare a pescare
But a rod to go fishing
Meri Luis finalmente ha deciso
Meri Luis has finally decided
Che l'amore è bello
That love is beautiful
Ha abbassato gli occhi e s'è lasciata andare
She lowered her eyes and let herself go
Ha benedetto il cielo come fosse un fratello
She blessed the sky like it was a brother
Per le sue belle tette e per
For her lovely t*ts and for
L'amico che le vuole toccare
The friend who wants to touch them
Adesso, mio Dio, dimmi cosa debbo fare
Now, my God, tell me what I should do
Se debbo farla a pezzi questa mia vita
If I should tear this life of mine to pieces
Oppure sedermi e guardarla passare
Or sit down and watch it pass by
Però la vita com'è bella
Yet how beautiful life is
E come è bello poterla cantare
And how beautiful it is to be able to sing it
