Io, Una Donna Lyrics in English Ornella Vanoni
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Io, Una Donna by Ornella Vanoni from Italian to English.
Quando mi dicevano: 'Uccidi il
When they told me: 'Kill the
Desiderio con una preghiera' ero una ragazza
Wish with a prayer' I was a girl
Quando mi dicevano
When they told me
'Attenta a quello specchio
'Be careful of that mirror
Dentro c'è il demonio' ero una ragazza
There is the devil inside' I was a girl
Odiavo la mia tristezza
I hated my sadness
E non lo potevo soffrire
And I couldn't stand it
Di stare da sola a morire
Of being alone to die
Io, una donna migliore o peggiore di altre
Me, a woman better or worse than others
Ma io sono una donna
But I'm a woman
L'amore che ho avuto da dare
The love I had to give
Il male che ho fatto pensare
The evil I made you think
La ruga che affiora, lo scherno
The wrinkle that emerges, the mockery
Perdono, se ho pianto per essa
Forgive me if I cried over it
Davanti al mio uomo
In front of my man
Quando mi dicevano: 'Qualcuno è già
When they told me: 'Someone already is
Venuto per portarti via' ero una ragazza
Come to take you away' I was a girl
Ed ero già pronta a partire
And I was already ready to leave
Però incominciava a morire
But she was starting to die
Qualcosa che adesso vorrei ritrovare
Something I would like to find again now
Io, una donna migliore o peggiore di altre
Me, a woman better or worse than others
Ma io sono una donna
But I'm a woman
Migliore o peggiore di altre
Better or worse than others
Ma io sono una donna
But I'm a woman
