These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Mi sembravi alto altissimo quando ero piccolino
You seemed very high to me when I was a little
Eri il mio gigante buono che giocava a nascondino
You were my good giant playing hide-and-seek
Mi batteva forte il cuore mentre stavo ad aspettare
My heart was beating hard as I waited
Felice di nascondermi ma anche di farmi trovare
Happy to hide but also to be found
Ti sentivo forte e a volte mi facevi un po' paura
I felt strong and sometimes you scared me a little bit
Ma eri il mio cavallo docile e il tappeto la pianura
But you were my docile horse and carpet the plain
E scendevo e camminavo nelle tue scarpe pesanti
And I would come down and walk in your heavy shoes
Fra colline di poltrone coi miei passi da gigante
Among hills of armchairs with my giant steps
Era dolce era dolcissimo
It was sweet it was very sweet
Lo ricordo e te lo dico
I remember it and I tell you
Eri il mio più grande eroe
You were my greatest hero
Eri il primo vero amico
You were the first true friend
Sei però rimpicciolito i primi anni della scuola
But you're shrunk in your early years of school
Tornavi tardi a casa e la mamma sempre sola
You came home late and mom was always alone
Mi svegliavo d'improvviso e ti sentivo ancora urlare
I would wake up suddenly and still hear you screaming
Eri sempre più nervoso e non mi stavi ad ascoltare
You were getting more and more nervous and you weren't listening to me
Altre volte mi picchiavi e le tue parole dure
Other times you beat me and your harsh words
Spalancavano soltanto una vita di paure
They only spread a life of fear
Eri assente e irraggiungibile
You were absent and unattainable
Io ti odiavo e te lo dico
I hated you and I tell you
Eri in sogno l'uomo nero
You were in a dream the black man
Eri a un tratto il mio nemico
You were suddenly my enemy
E ho portato come un lutto il tuo sangue nelle vene
And I brought as a mourning your blood in my veins
Ma il mio cuore per dispetto ti voleva ancora bene
But my heart out of spite still loved you
E ora babbo te lo scrivo come quando ero bambino
And now Dad I write it to you like when I was a kid
Come quando per trovarci giocavamo a nascondino
Like when we played hide-and-seek to find each other
E ora è freddo anzi freddissimo
And now it's cold indeed very cold
Piango mentre te lo dico
I'm crying while I tell you
Cosa aspetti ad arrivare
What are you waiting for to arrive
Babbo se mi sei amico
Santa if you're friends with me
Era dolce era dolcissimo
It was sweet it was very sweet
L'ho capito e te lo scrivo
I understand it and I'll write it to you
Quante volte io dovrò morire
How many times will I have to die
Per sentirmi ancora vivo?
To still feel alive?
