L'ammore Overo Lyrics in English Rocco Hunt
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'ammore Overo by Rocco Hunt from Italian to English.
Si' diversa, je me ne accorgo se te guardo
You're different, I notice when I look at you
E se te dico ca si bell nn'è pecché sto scumbinato
And if I say you're beautiful it's not 'cause I'm messed up
'A femmena se trucca l'ore sane annanze 'o specchio
A woman spends hours putting on makeup in front of the mirror
Pe' n'ommo che tutta 'a serata nun le fa nu complimento
For a man who doesn't give her a single compliment all night
Ogni ammore è a convenienza, e tu nun ce può fa niente
Every love is about convenience, and you can't do anything about it
Je te vulesse guardà 'a dint' pe' vedè tu 'e me che pienze
I'd like to look inside you to see what you think of me
Ma stongo ancora ca pure se chiove o ce sta 'o sole
But I'm still here whether it rains or the sun's out
Quando passo sott''a casa e veco 'a luce dint''o balcone
When I walk under your house and see the light on the balcony
Tu me manchi, e fossi ipocrita se te dicesse
I miss you, I'd be a hypocrite if I said
Ca senza 'e te sto buono e sto tranquillo cu' me stesso
that without you I'm fine and at peace with myself
'A verità è che nun dormo manco cchiù 'a notte
The truth is I don't even sleep at night anymore
Te cerco, ma nun te trovo, te sonno e me sceto 'e botto
I look for you but can't find you, I dream you and wake up at once
'A semplicità e 'a verità so' 'e cose che contano overo
Simplicity and truth are the things that really count
Pecché veneno 'a dinto e nun può fingere se nun 'e tiene
Because they come from within and you can't fake them if you don't have them
Tutte 'e cose che aggio amato po' se so' distrutte
Everything I've loved has ended up destroyed
E chi diceva che m'amava o è scumparzo o se n'è jiuto
And whoever said they loved me either disappeared or took off
E chelli vote ca suffrevo, ma nu te l'aggio ditto
And those times I was hurting, but I didn't tell you
Nun ne parlavo ch''e cumpagne e m''o tenevo 'a dinto
I didn't talk about it with the guys and kept it inside
L'ammore overo nun esiste se mo staje cu' chillo
Real love doesn't exist if you're with that dude now
Ch'è sincero sulo quanno te scioglie 'e capille
who's only sincere when he's letting your hair down
Je ce penso sempe, ce penso quase tutte 'e notte
I think about it always, almost every night
E te cerco sempe, senza 'e te nun riesco a dormere
And I always look for you, without you I can't sleep
E vulesse n'occasione pe' vendicà chistu dolore
And I'd like a chance to take revenge on this pain
Se m'addomande comme stongo, rispongo, 'Sto buono'
If you ask me how I am, I answer, 'I'm good'
E chelli vote che scennevo ma nun te truavo
And those times I came downstairs but didn't find you
Nun ne parlavo cu' nisciuno e comme stevo male
I didn't talk to anybody and felt so bad
L'ammore overo nun esiste se vai a convenienza
Real love doesn't exist if you go for convenience
Te voje leggere dint''o penziero pe' vedè che pienze
I want to read your mind to see what you think
Te penzo sempe, te penzo quase tutte 'e notte
I think of you always, almost every night
Te chiammo sempe, ma tu nun me vuo' risponnere
I call you all the time, but you don't want to answer
E vulesse n'occasione pe' vendicà chistu dolore
And I'd like a chance to take revenge on this pain
M'aggia scucciato 'e correre 'a 'ret 'e perzone
I'm tired of running after people
Sulo chi vene 'a dint''a miseria nota 'o cambiamento
Only whoever comes out of misery notices the change
E quando finalmente 'a vita cagna overamente
And when life finally really changes
M'arricordo 'a muffa dint''a stanzetta
I remember the mold in that little room
Mammà ch'allucca sempe
Mom always shouting
'A stessa capa 'e merda 'e sempe, nun me piglià mai d'esempio
Still the same sh*t head, never take me as an example
'Sta vita m'ha vattuto, 'a gente m'ha sfuttuto
This life has beaten me, people have mocked me
Ma si steve a sentere a ll'ate forse nun ero mai partuto
But if I'd listened to the others maybe I'd never have left
'O successo è stato 'o prezzo pe' me fa accettà
Success was the price that made them accept me
Arriva tutto bello e buono, nun 'o puo' programmà
It comes all nice and smooth, you can't plan it
Voglio 'e tiempe belle, 'a semplicità, 'e ricorde
I want good times, simplicity, memories
Site talmente puverielle che tenite sulo 'e sorde
You're so poor that all you've got is money
E quanta cose ce separano 'a Sud a Nord
And how many things divide us from South to North
Simmo cchiù carnale e 'o zappatore 'a mamma nun s''a scorda
We're more carnal and the farmhand never forgets his mom
'Rocco è nu vennuto', 'Rocco è nu muntato
'Rocco's a nobody', 'Rocco's an upstart'
Già teneva 'e sorde e pe' stà là è raccomandato'
'He already had money and got there thanks to connections'
No, Rocco nun sta buono, nun parla ch''e perzone
No, Rocco ain't okay, he doesn't talk to people
Ma nun 'o dice mai a nisciuno, 'o scrive sulo 'int''e canzone
But he never tells anybody, he only writes it in songs
Quanta cumpagne overe tengo?
How many real friends do I have?
Chi mette in moto e va fujenno
Some start the engine and run away
Chi porta 'a rota e 'o va dicenno
Some spin the wheel and brag about it
Chi 'int''a vita l'ambizione è comme 'a varicella
For some, in life ambition is like chickenpox
Arriva 'na vota sola, ma 'na preta nn'addeventa stella
It comes only once, but a stone never turns into a star
Chello che vide nun ê assaggià, n'atu drink 'a sorseggià
What you see you can't taste, just another drink to sip
Aggio 'mparato che chi è lento po' l'hê sorpassà
I learned that you can overtake whoever's slow
'O nomme scritto 'nfaccia 'e mure pe' graffiti e break
The name written on walls with graffiti and breakdance
Ce amma fatto l'osse, ate che hip hop, fra', sientete a Nek
We made our bones there, what hip hop, bro, go listen to Nek
E chelli vote ca suffrevo, ma nu te l'aggio ditto
And those times I was hurting, but I didn't tell you
Nun ne parlavo ch''e cumpagne e m''o tenevo 'a dinto
I didn't talk about it with the guys and kept it inside
L'ammore overo nun esiste se mo staje cu' chillo
Real love doesn't exist if you're with that dude now
Ch'è sincero sulo quanno te scioglie 'e capille
who's only sincere when he's letting your hair down
Je ce penso sempe, ce penso quase tutte 'e notte
I think about it always, almost every night
E te cerco sempe, senza 'e te nun riesco a dormere
And I always look for you, without you I can't sleep
E vulesse n'occasione pe' vendicà chistu dolore
And I'd like a chance to take revenge on this pain
Se m'addomande comme stongo, rispongo, 'Sto buono'
