Perché Lo Fai Lyrics in English by Marco Masini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Perché Lo Fai by Marco Masini from Italian to English.
Con questa pioggia nei capelli, perché lo fai
With this rain in your hair, why do you do it
Con questi occhi un po' fanciulli e un po' marinai
With these eyes a bit childlike and a bit like sailors'
Per una dose di veleno che poi
For a dose of poison that then
Dentro di te non basta mai
Inside you is never enough
Con le tue mani da violino, perché lo fai
With your violin hands, why do you do it
Tu che sei rosa di giardino dentro di me
You who are a garden rose inside me
Come un gattino sopra un tetto di guai
Like a kitten on a roof of troubles
Dimmi perché, perché lo fai
Tell me why, why do you do it
Perché lo fai, non rispondermi se non vuoi
Why do you do it, don't answer me if you don't want to
Però lo sai che io vedo con gli occhi tuoi
But you know that I see with your eyes
E tu se vuoi puoi nasconderti dentro me
And if you want you can hide inside me
Finché non capirai
Until you understand
Perché lo fai, disperata ragazza mia
Why do you do it, my desperate girl
Perché ti sdai come un angelo in agonia
Why do you lie down like an angel in agony
Perché ti fai
Why do you do it to yourself
Perché ti fai del male
Why do you hurt yourself
Perché ce l'hai con te
Why are you mad at yourself
Perché lo fai
Why do you do it
E il domani diventa mai
And tomorrow becomes never
Per te, per me, per noi
For you, for me, for us
Perché, perché lo fai
Why, why do you do it
Fra questi angeli nel fango di questa via
Among these angels in the mud of this street
Dove non entra più neanche la polizia
Where not even the police enter anymore
Io non ti lascio in questo nostro Vietnam
I won't leave you in this our Vietnam
Anima mia
My soul
Come la gente che lascia che sia
Like people who let it be
Disperata ragazza mia
My desperate girl
Perché non vuoi che il mio amore ti porti via
Why don't you want my love to take you away
Perché lo fai
Why do you do it
E il domani diventa mai
And tomorrow becomes never
Per te, per me, per noi
For you, for me, for us
Perché lo fai
Why do you do it
Puoi rinascere quando vuoi
You can be reborn whenever you want
Perché lo sai che io vedo con gli occhi tuoi
Because you know that I see with your eyes
Se tu volessi vivere io non ti lascerei
If you wanted to live I wouldn't leave you
Se ritornassi libera, se ritornassi mia
If you returned free, if you returned mine
Invece sei una macchina che va via
Instead you're a car that drives away

Did you like this lyrics translation?
fanciulli — childlike / youthful
Fanciulli translates to "childlike" or "youthful". While related to the more common word bambini (children), fanciulli carries a slightly more poetic and innocent connotation, often evoking a sense of purity or naivety.
In the song, Marco Masini sings about "questi occhi un po' fanciulli e un po' marinai" (these eyes a bit childlike and a bit like sailors). This juxtaposition creates an intriguing image of someone who possesses both an innocent, youthful gaze and the experienced, perhaps weary, look of a sailor. It's a beautiful and evocative word that adds depth to the character being described.
