Jolly Blue [2012] Lyrics in English by Max Pezzali, 883, Fedez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Jolly Blue [2012] by Max Pezzali from Italian to English.
Jolly blu
Blue joker
È passato tanto tempo pero' io c'ho tutto dentro
It's been a long time but I have it all inside
A Ticino a far le foto e le corse con le moto
In Ticino taking photos and racing motorbikes
Con il centoventicinque per il corso a far le lingue
With one hundred and twenty-five for the language course
Radioloni sempre a palla
Big radios always on fire
Per un pelo stare a galla
Just barely staying afloat
Anche con cinquanta lire ti sentivi un gran signore
Even with fifty lire you felt like a great gentleman
Tra di noi ci si aiutava una colletta e ti passava
Between us we helped ourselves to a collection and it passed to you
Noi né ricchi né barboni, solo un gruppo di coglioni
We are neither rich nor bums, just a bunch of assholes
Sempre in giro a far casino mai paura di nessuno
Always around making noise, never afraid of anyone
Jolly blue la sala giochi
Jolly blue the games room
Jolly blue piena di giochi
Jolly blue full of games
Jolly blue la sala giochi
Jolly blue the games room
Che per noi era un non so cosa forse una seconda casa
Which for us was like I don't know what, maybe a second home
Jolly blue la sala giochi
Jolly blue the games room
Jolly blue piena di giochi
Jolly blue full of games
Jolly blue la sala giochi
Jolly blue the games room
Sì ma forse in fondo in fondo
Yes but maybe deep down
Era tutto il nostro mondo
It was our whole world
Eravamo proprio tanti
There were so many of us
Deficienti tutti quanti
Morons all of them
Una ragazza che ci stava
A girl who was there
Forse al massimo ti dava
Maybe at most he would give you
Un bacino sulla bocca
A kiss on the mouth
Poi a casa non si tocca
Then you can't touch it at home
Però dopo il tuo ritorno
But after your return
Raccontavi quasi un porno
You were almost telling a porno
E per fare il vero uomo
And to be a real man
Ti impegnavi a fare mono
You were committed to doing mono
Specie con le ragazzine
Especially with little girls
Era una soddisfazione
It was satisfying
In discoteca ci si andava
We went to the disco
Al pomeriggio e si ballava
In the afternoon we danced
In un modo da sfigati ma ci siamo divertiti
In a lame way but we had fun
Jolly blue la sala giochi
Jolly blue the games room
Jolly blue piena di giochi
Jolly blue full of games
Jolly blue la sala giochi
Jolly blue the games room
Che per noi era un non so cosa forse una seconda casa
Which for us was like I don't know what, maybe a second home
Jolly blue la sala giochi
Jolly blue the games room
Jolly blue piena di giochi
Jolly blue full of games
Jolly blue la sala giochi
Jolly blue the games room
Sì ma forse in fondo in fondo
Yes but maybe deep down
Era tutto il nostro mondo
It was our whole world
Tra fotografie sbiadite e ricordi indelebili
Between faded photographs and indelible memories
A cavallo di una vita che ha perso le redini
Straddling a life that has lost its reins
Ha ucciso i ricordi sopra lastre di Eternit
She killed the memories on slabs of Eternit
Respirare vecchie sensazioni può far male
Breathing in old feelings can hurt
Ce ne sbattevamo il cazzo delle star celebrities
We didn't give a damn about star celebrities
Eravamo senza ombrelli in una tempesta ormonale
We were without umbrellas in a hormonal storm
Che sia la sala giochi o il bancone del bar
Whether it's the games room or the bar counter
Là è racchiusa la mia vita ma che non finisce qua
My life is contained there but it doesn't end here
È il seme della vita nel fiore dell'età
It is the seed of life in the prime of life
Ma no puoi capire un libro se lo leggi a metà
But you can't understand a book if you read it halfway
Un deca nella macchinetta gettoni fra le dita
A deca in the coin machine between your fingers
Ma ora con lo stesso deca ci fai solo una partita
But now with the same deca you only play one game
Poi chissà cos'è cambiato, forse il tempo che è passato
Then who knows what has changed, perhaps the time that has passed
C'è chi adesso è regolare, c'è chi si sta per sposare
There are those who are now legal, there are those who are about to get married
Con le loro macchinette sempre lucide e perfette
With their machines always shiny and perfect
Che ci guardano dall'alto, loro han fatto il grande salto
Watching us from above, they have made the big leap
Noi due poveri sfigati, noi non siamo mai cambiati
We two poor losers, we have never changed
Sempre il sogno nel cervello di una moto per cavallo
Always the dream in the brain of a horse bike
A esaltarci per un niente basta che sia divertente
To get excited about nothing as long as it's fun
Poi chissà chi lo può dire dove andremo mai a finire
Then who knows who can say where we will ever end up
Jolly Blue la sala giochi
Jolly Blue the games room
Jolly Blue piena di giochi
Jolly Blue full of games
Jolly Blue la sala giochi
Jolly Blue the games room
Che per noi era un non so cosa
Which for us was an I don't know what
Forse una seconda casa
Maybe a second home
Jolly Blue la sala giochi
Jolly Blue the games room
Jolly Blue piena di giochi
Jolly Blue full of games
Jolly Blue la sala giochi
Jolly Blue the games room
Sì ma forse in fondo in fondo
Yes but maybe deep down
Era tutto il nostro mondo
It was our whole world
Molto bene Max Pezzali
Very good Max Pezzali
Anni e anni di canzoni
Years and years of songs
Tanti suoni e amici vari
Many sounds and various friends
Si rimane in piedi come vedi
We remain standing as you can see
La zia Pina per auguri veri
Aunt Pina for true wishes
