Come Si Fa..? Lyrics in English by Marco Masini, Umberto Tozzi
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Come Si Fa..? by Marco Masini from Italian to English.
Io come ci ritorno sull'albero con te
How do I get back on the tree with you
Ho forse camminato troppo e son caduto sopra me
Maybe I walked too far and fell over myself
Inginocchiato sull'altare degli avidi perché
Kneeling on the altar of the greedy whys
Ho atteso senza far rumore
I waited silently
Come in amore ci si fa male
As in love, one gets hurt
Ho visto il gelo dei tuoi occhi luccicare dietro un vetro di tristezza
I saw the coldness of your eyes sparkle behind a pane of sadness
E ho disegnato una collina con quei fiori che portavo sempre a te
And I drew a hill with those flowers I always brought to you
Ho avuto lacrime sgorgate da una fonte disumana di dolcezza
Tears gushed from an inhuman fount of sweetness
E tutto quello che mi resta è questa fredda notte nudo senza te
And all I have left is this cold night, naked without you
E si ho perso e sono qui tra i coccodrilli nelle strade
And yes, I lost and I'm here among the crocodiles in the streets
Non ho ascoltato i vecchi eroi che hanno saputo meditare
I didn't listen to the old heroes who knew how to meditate
Ho giusto il tempo di gridare di raccontarmi come se
I just have time to shout, to tell my story as if
Fossi già naufragata fra altre braccia
I had already shipwrecked in other arms
Perché in amore ci si fa male
Because in love, one gets hurt
Perché ho vissuto in mezzo a gente nauseata che non ha le mie emozioni
Because I lived among nauseated people who don't have my emotions
Quante canzoni scritte al vento invece di riuscire a perdermi con te
How many songs written to the wind instead of managing to lose myself with you
Adesso ho macchine veloci che riempiono i miei vuoti di ricordi
Now I have fast cars that fill my voids with memories
Ma come un pazzo ripercorro quella strada illuminatami da te
But like a madman, I retrace that road lit up by you
Come in amore ci si fa male
As in love, one gets hurt
Così l'amore può cancellare i miei perché
So love can erase my whys

naufragata — shipwrecked
Naufragata is the past participle of the verb naufragare, meaning "to be shipwrecked" or "to be stranded". It's a vivid and dramatic word that evokes a strong image of being lost or ruined.
In the song, the lyric "Fossi già naufragata fra altre braccia" translates to "If I were already shipwrecked in other arms". This metaphorical use suggests a feeling of being completely lost or adrift in a new relationship, highlighting the emotional turmoil and sense of displacement the singer feels.
