Io lavoro al bar d'un albergo a ore
I work at a hotel bar by the hour
Porto su il caffè a chi fa l'amore
I bring up coffee to those who make love
Vanno su e giù coppie sempre eguali
They go up and down couples always equal
Non le vedo più neanche con gli occhiali…
I don't even see them with glasses anymore..
Ma sono rimasta lì come una cretina
But I stood there like a jerk
Vedendo quei due arrivare una mattina
Seeing those two arrive one morning
Puliti, educati‚ sembravano finti
Clean, polite seemed fake
Sembravano proprio due santi dipinti!
They looked just like two painted saints!
M'han chiesto una stanza
They asked me for a room
Gli ho fatto vedere
I showed him
La meno schifosa
The least lousy
La numero tre!
Number three!
E ho messo nel letto i lenzuoli più nuovi
And I put the newest sheets in bed
Poi‚ come san pietro gli ho dato le chiavi
Then as St. Peter I gave him the keys
Gli ho dato le chiavi di quel paradiso
I gave him the keys to that paradise
E ho chiuso la porta sul loro sorriso!
And I closed the door on their smile!
Lo lavoro al bar d'un albergo a ore
I work it at a hotel bar by the hour
Porto su il caffè a chi fa l'amore
I bring up coffee to those who make love
Vanno su e giù coppie sempre eguali
They go up and down couples always equal
Non le vedo più neanche con gli occhiali…
I don't even see them with glasses anymore..
Ma sono rimasta lì come un cretino
But I stood there like a jerk
Aprendo la porta in quella grigia mattina
Opening the door on that gray morning
Se n'erano andati in silenzio perfetto
They were gone in perfect silence
Lasciando soltanto i due corpi nel letto
Leaving only the two bodies in bed
Lo so che io non c'entro
I know I had nothing to do with it
Però non è giusto
But it's not fair
Morire a vent'anni
Dying at twenty
E poi‚ proprio qui!
And then it's right here!
Me ii hanno incartati nei bianchi lenzuoli
Me ii they wrapped in the white sheets
E l'ultimo viaggio l'han fatto da soli
And the last trip they did it themselves
Né fiori né gente soltanto un furgone
Neither flowers nor people just a van
Ma lì dove andranno staranno benone!
But where they're going, they're going to be fine!
Lo lavoro al bar d'un albergo a ore
I work it at a hotel bar by the hour
Porto su il caffè a chi fa l'amore
I bring up coffee to those who make love
Lo sarò fissata, ma non so perché
I'll be fixated, but I don't know why
Non mi va di dare più la chiave del tre!
I don't want to give the key to the three anymore!
