Motel Lyrics in English by Renato Zero

Home / Lyrics translation / Renato Zero / Motel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Motel by Renato Zero from Italian to English.

Seduta qui, vicino a me

Sitting here, close to me

Ed una sigaretta viene

And a cigarette comes

E un'altra va

And another goes

Nervoso no, soltanto un po'

Not nervous, just a little

Quel tanto che precede i nostri incontri

Just enough to precede our meetings

E dopo passerà

And then it will pass

Un bacio e tu

A kiss and you

Ritorni tu

You return

E l'auto va

And the car goes

Negli occhi tuoi

In your eyes

Case ed alberi si inseguono ma

Houses and trees chase each other but

Ma, ci siamo ormai

But, we're almost there now

Noi due, noi due

The two of us, the two of us

E il nostro solito rifugio

And our usual refuge

In quel Motel

In that Motel

Una stanza buia

A dark room

Per vivere

To live

Questo nostro amore

This love of ours

Grande più di noi

Greater than us

Qui, siamo entrati così

Here, we entered like this

Siamo usciti così

We left like this

Come due, senza nome

Like two, nameless

Qui

Here

Qui

Here

Ci accorgiamo che ormai

We realize that now

C'è qualcosa di noi

There's something of us

Un motivo per vivere

A reason to live

Noi due, noi due

The two of us, the two of us

Un corpo e un'anima approdati

A body and a soul landed

In quel motel

In that motel

Due lenzuola stinte

Two faded sheets

E un letto che

And a bed that

Sono broccati argento

Are silver brocade

Quando stai con me

When you're with me

Qui

Here

Qui

Here

Ci accorgiamo che ormai

We realize that now

C'è qualcosa di noi

There's something of us

Un motivo per vivere

A reason to live

Qui

Here

Che m'importa se c'è

What do I care if there's

Solo un vecchio motel

Only an old motel

Con le insegne già spente

With the signs already off

Qui, tu sei mia

Here, you are mine

Qui

Here

Did you like this lyrics translation?

broccati — brocade

Broccati refers to brocade, a rich, decorative fabric often woven with intricate patterns, typically in silk, gold, or silver thread. It's a luxurious and somewhat old-fashioned word that evokes images of opulence and elegance.

In the song, the lyrics describe "Due lenzuola stinte / E un letto che / Sono broccati argento / Quando stai con me" (Two faded sheets / And a bed that / Are silver brocade / When you are with me). This beautiful metaphor transforms the humble, faded motel sheets into something precious and magnificent, highlighting how the presence of his beloved elevates their simple surroundings into something truly special and rich with emotion.
