Tanta Voglia Di Lei Lyrics in English by Riccardo Fogli
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tanta Voglia Di Lei by Riccardo Fogli from Italian to English.
Mi dispiace di svegliarti
I'm sorry to wake you
Forse un uomo non sarò
Maybe I won't be a man
Ma ad un tratto so che devo lasciarti
But suddenly I know I have to leave you
Tra un minuto me ne andrò
In a minute I'll leave
E non dici una parola
And you don't say a word
Sei più piccola che mai
You're smaller than ever
In silenzio morderai le lenzuola
In silence you'll bite the sheets
So che non perdonerai
I know you won't forgive
Mi dispiace, devo andare
I'm sorry, I have to go
Il mio posto è là
My place is there
Il mio amore si potrebbe svegliare
My love could wake up
Chi la scalderà?
Who will warm her?
Strana amica di una sera
Strange friend of one night
Io ringrazierò
I'll thank you
La tua pelle sconosciuta e sincera
Your unknown and sincere skin
Ma nella mente c'è tanta
But in my mind there's so much
Tanta voglia di lei
So much longing for her
Lei si muove e la sua mano
She stirs and her hand
Dolcemente cerca me
Gently seeks me
E nel sonno sta sfiorando
And in her sleep she's caressing
Pian piano il suo uomo che non c'è
Slowly her man who's not there
Mi dispiace devo andare
I'm sorry, I have to go
Il mio posto è là
My place is there
Il mio amore si potrebbe svegliare
My love could wake up
Chi la scalderà?
Who will warm her?
Strana amica di una sera
Strange friend of one night
Io ringrazierò
I'll thank you
La tua pelle sconosciuta e sincera
Your unknown and sincere skin
Ma nella mente c'è tanta
But in my mind there's so much
Tanta voglia di lei
So much longing for her

scalderà — will warm (her)
Scalderà comes from the verb scaldare, meaning 'to warm' or 'to heat'. It's a less common verb in everyday conversation compared to more basic verbs, making it stand out.
In the context of the song, the singer is leaving a woman to return to his true love. He poignantly asks, "Chi la scalderà?" which translates to "Who will warm her?" This question carries both a literal and metaphorical weight, referring to physical warmth and emotional comfort, highlighting the intimacy and regret in his departure.
