Et Ca Fait Mal Lyrics in English by Salvatore Adamo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Et Ca Fait Mal by Salvatore Adamo from Italian to English.
Combien de mots dans la phrase
How many words in the sentence
On se jette a la figure
We throw at each other's faces
Combien de fleurs dans le vase
How many flowers in the vase
Pour refermer la blessure
To close the wound
Combien de combats de trop
How many too many fights
Et d'ego à la démesure
And of excessive ego
Nous sommes deux beaux idiots
We are two beautiful idiots
Chaque fois qu'on se laisse
Every time we let go
Un jour on se revient
One day we come back to each other
Chaque fois qu'on se lâche
Every time we let go
Un jour on se retient
One day we hold back
Comme quoi on ferait mieux de prendre
Which means we'd better take
La vie comme elle vient
Life as it comes
Ça fait mal et ça fait rien
It hurts and it does nothing
Combien de mots qui font mal
How many words that hurt
Et de gestes déplacés
And inappropriate gestures
Combien de fautes, de linge sale
How many mistakes, of dirty laundry
Combien de pièces au dossier
How many pieces in the file
Combien de guerres inutiles
How many useless wars
Faut-il encore déclarer
Must we still declare
Nous sommes deux imbéciles
We are two imbeciles
Chaque fois qu'on se laisse
Every time we let go
Un jour on se revient
One day we come back to each other
Chaque fois qu'on se lâche
Every time we let go
Un jour on se retient
One day we hold back
Comme quoi on ferait mieux de prendre
Which means we'd better take
La vie comme elle vient
Life as it comes
Ça fait mal et ça fait rien
It hurts and it does nothing
Chaque fois qu'on se laisse
Every time we let go
Un jour on se revient
One day we come back to each other
Chaque fois qu'on oublie
Every time we forget
Un jour on se souvient
One day we remember
Chaque fois qu'on se lâche
Every time we let go
Un jour on se retient
One day we hold back
Comme quoi on ferait mieux de prendre
Which means we'd better take
La vie comme elle vient
Life as it comes
Ça fait mal et ça fait rien
It hurts and it does nothing

Did you like this lyrics translation?
imbéciles — idiots / imbeciles
Imbéciles translates to "idiots" or "imbeciles". It's a strong, self-deprecating word that stands out in the lyrics.
In the song, the artist uses it to describe himself and his partner, singing, "Nous sommes deux imbéciles" (We are two imbeciles). This word captures the frustration and self-awareness of a couple caught in a cycle of arguments and reconciliations, highlighting their foolishness in repeating the same mistakes despite their love for each other.
