Le Néon Lyrics in English by Salvatore Adamo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Néon by Salvatore Adamo from Italian to English.
Le néon, le néon, le nez en l'air, l'air d'un
The neon, the neon, nose in the air, looking like a
Qu'on se le dise, entre pantins, gare à la crise, gare à l'instinct
Let it be said, among puppets, beware of the crisis, beware of instinct
Car plus ça monte et plus j'ai honte
For the higher it goes, the more I'm ashamed
Plus je me rends compte que je ne suis pas grand
The more I realize that I'm not great
Pas grand, pas grand
Not great, not great
Et ça m'énerve, j'perds mon latin, j'perds ma verve et je m'éteins
And it annoys me, I lose my Latin, I lose my verve and I fade out
Le néon, le néon, le nez en l'air, l'air d'un
The neon, the neon, nose in the air, looking like a
Centième étage, centième cage, centième orage, je serre les dents
Hundredth floor, hundredth cage, hundredth storm, I clench my teeth
Enfin sur terre et solitaire, dans les rues, j'erre au gré du vent
Finally on earth and alone, in the streets, I wander with the wind
Je cherche une âme au cœur du soir, je ne réclame qu'un peu d'espoir
I'm looking for a soul in the heart of the evening, I only ask for a little hope
Le néon, le néon, le nez en l'air, l'air d'un
The neon, the neon, nose in the air, looking like a
Broadway la blonde dans la nuit gronde
Broadway the blonde rumbles in the night
Et c'est la ronde des morts-vivants
And it's the dance of the living dead
Dans ce dédale, je perds la foi et un vandale s'éveille en moi
In this maze, I lose faith and a vandal awakens in me
Le bruit me saoule, je suis Samson, les murs s'écroulent sur ma prison
The noise overwhelms me, I am Samson, the walls collapse on my prison
Amérique, à mes risques, à mes disques, je te devais
America, at my risks, to my records, I owed you
J'ai pris le risque, tant pis pour toi
I took the risk, too bad for you
Car dans mes disques, tu resteras le néon, le néon
For in my records, you'll remain the neon, the neon

Did you like this lyrics translation?
dédale — maze
Dédale translates to "maze" or "labyrinth". It's a less common, more evocative word than a simple "street" or "city", making it stand out.
In the song, the artist sings "Dans ce dédale, je perds la foi" (In this maze, I lose faith). This powerful imagery uses the word to convey a sense of being lost and disoriented in the urban landscape, reflecting a deeper existential struggle rather than just physical navigation.
