Principessa Lyrics in English by Marco Masini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Principessa by Marco Masini from Italian to English.
Tu zitta fra le lacrime
You silent among the tears
Ha fatto tutto lui
He did it all
Ubriaco come al solito
Drunk as usual
Padrone più che mai
More a master than ever
Un padre senza l'anima
A father without a soul
Che mangia un po' di sé
Who consumes a part of himself
E ha crocifisso l'angelo
And he crucified the angel
Che c'era dentro te
That was inside you
E ora asciughi i tuoi occhi alla sottana
And now you dry your eyes on your skirt
Dolce figlia di un puttana
Sweet daughter of a wh*re
Non devi dirlo al parroco
You mustn't tell the priest
E forse neanche a Dio
And maybe not even God
Ma devi sotterrartelo
But you must bury it
Nel cuore, amore mio
In your heart, my love
Perciò stanotte chiuditi
So tonight lock yourself
A chiave dentro te
Locked inside yourself
E domattina aspettami
And tomorrow morning wait for me
Ti porto via con me
I'll take you away with me
Lasceremo su questo mondo infame
We'll leave on this infamous world
Le carezze al fratellino ed al tuo cane
The caresses for your little brother and your dog
Vieni principessa ti porto via con me
Come princess, I'll take you away with me
Ci sarà in questo mondo merda
In this sh*t world there's
Una rosa rossa da cogliere per te
A red rose to pick for you
E domeniche e sogni sull'erba
And Sundays and dreams on the grass
Ci sarà un lavoro e il caldo di una stanza
There'll be a job and the warmth of a room
E ogni giorno almeno un piatto di sperata speranza
And every day at least a plate of hoped-for hope
Vieni principessa ti porto via da qua
Come princess, I'll take you away from here
Questo mondo di fame e violenza finirà
This world of hunger and violence will end
Avevo un serramanico ma l'ho buttato via
I had a switchblade but I threw it away
In fondo a una discarica venendo a casa tua
At the bottom of a landfill coming to your house
E lì c'è nato un albero cresciuto come noi
And there a tree was born, grown like us
Sotto i due grandi noccioli che sono gli occhi tuoi
Beneath the two big kernels that are your eyes
E ora dentro non c'è odio né vendetta
And now inside there's no hate nor revenge
Ma una foglia che vuol essere difesa e protetta
But a leaf that wants to be defended and protected
Vieni principessa ti porto via con me
Come princess, I'll take you away with me
Fra le stelle di un altro pianeta
Among the stars of another planet
Dove non c'è il grasso e maledetto re
Where there's not the fat and cursed king
Che ti ha dato e ti ha preso la vita che c'è in te
Who gave you and took the life that's in you
Dove il male non ti guarda e non ti tocca
Where evil doesn't look at you and doesn't touch you
E il sorriso vola ancora al nido della tua bocca
And the smile still flies to the nest of your mouth
Vieni principessa ti porto via con me
Come princess, I'll take you away with me
(Fra le stelle di un altro pianeta)
(Among the stars of another planet)
C'è un rosa rossa da cogliere per te
There's a red rose to pick for you
E domeniche e sogni di vita
And Sundays and dreams of life
Vieni principessa ti porto via con me
Come princess, I'll take you away with me
Via con me
Away with me
