Padre Astratto Lyrics in English by Modà
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Padre Astratto by Modà from Italian to English.
Padre astratto avrai
You'll have an abstract father
Non te ne pentirai
You won't regret it
E mamma tua ti parlerà di lui
And your mom will talk to you about him
E lo conoscerai come se fosse lui
And you'll know him as if he were him
E intorno a te ci saranno i colori che
And around you there will be the colors that
Desiderava lui, lui per te
He desired, he for you
Lui per te
He for you
Lui per te
He for you
E un giorno chiederai di lui
And one day you'll ask about him
Di quella foto che gli occhi tuoi
About that photo that your eyes
Hanno interpretato a modo loro
Have interpreted in their own way
E non hai ben capito
And you haven't quite understood
Ma c'è mamma tua
But there's your mom
Che ti racconterà chi era lui
Who will tell you who he was
Che cosa han vissuto insieme
What they lived together
Per poterti avere
To be able to have you
Di quel paese che esiste
About that place that exists
Solo nei sogni tuoi
Only in your dreams
Solo nei sogni tuoi
Only in your dreams
E tu ti arrabbierai
And you'll get angry
Si ti arrabbierai
Yes, you'll get angry
E ti chiederai se esiste davvero Dio
And you'll ask yourself if God really exists
Ma son sicuro che
But I'm sure that
Che tu poi capirai, capirai
That you'll then understand, you'll understand
Quanto poteva essere
How much he could have been
Speciale lui, lui, lui
Special he, he, he
E poi capirai che se
And then you'll understand that if
Se l'è portato via è perché
He took him away it's because
C'era un vuoto nel cielo
There was a void in the sky
E serviva la stella
And the star was needed
La stella più bella
The most beautiful star
Quella che brilla
The one that shines
Solo per te, per mamma tua
Only for you, for your mom
E potete sentirla solo voi
And only you can feel it
Dentro voi
Inside you
E potete parlargli solo voi
And only you can talk to him
E potete annusarla solo voi
And only you can smell it
Tu e mamma tua
You and your mom
E si
And yes
Tu e mamma tua
You and your mom
E si
And yes
Tu e mamma tua
You and your mom
E si
And yes
Tu e mamma tua
You and your mom

astratto — abstract
Astratto means "abstract". It's an intriguing word that immediately makes you wonder about its context in a song, as it's not a common term in everyday pop lyrics.
In "Padre astratto", the word is used to describe a father who is not physically present, making him an "abstract father". This evokes a sense of mystery and longing, as the child only knows him through stories and dreams, making his presence more conceptual than tangible.
