Io E Te Lyrics in English by Renato Zero
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Io E Te by Renato Zero from Italian to English.
Stai con me se non sai dove andare
Stay with me if you don't know where to go
Lascia pure il mondo al suo grigiore
Just leave the world to its greyness
Stai qui, qui dove il tempo sa aspettare
Stay here, here where time knows how to wait
Ci si può provare perché no
We can try, why not
Se mai sarò solo un abbraccio sincero
If I'll ever be just a sincere hug
Un posto sicuro magari in sorriso raro
A safe place, maybe a rare smile
Tingerò d'azzurro le pareti
I'll paint the walls light blue
Cuscini rosa qua e là
Pink pillows here and there
Se vuoi porte e finestre aperte al sole
If you want doors and windows open to the sun
E fiori dovunque passi tu
And flowers wherever you go
Sarà il più bel rifugio per l'amore
It will be the most beautiful refuge for love
Un nido d'Aprile l'invidia di chi ci è ostile
An April nest, the envy of those hostile to us
Ed io ti seguirò
And I'll follow you
Nuotando nel tuo mare
Swimming in your sea
E poi ti imiterò
And then I'll imitate you
Ho tanto da imparare
I have so much to learn
Dividerò con te
I'll share with you
Nel letto l'impazienza
In bed, the impatience
Costringeremo un sogno quassù
We'll force a dream up here
E non ci troveranno mai più
And they won't find us ever again
Stai qui, uomo è troppo solo
Stay here, man is too alone
Ero io quel cercatore d'oro
I was that gold seeker
Per me ogni conquista un'incertezza
For me, every conquest an uncertainty
Ma quale amarezza se dopo il dolore
But what bitterness if after the pain
Non conosci amore
You don't know love

Did you like this lyrics translation?
grigiore — grayness / dullness
Grigiore literally translates to "grayness" or "dullness". It's a less common word than simply "grigio" (gray), carrying a stronger connotation of monotony, sadness, or lack of vibrancy.
In the song, Renato Zero uses it to describe the mundane and uninspiring outside world, urging his beloved to leave "il mondo al suo grigiore" (the world to its grayness) and find solace and color with him. This word beautifully captures the contrast between the drab reality and the vibrant refuge he offers.
