Tout En Moi, Tout De Toi Lyrics in English by Salvatore Adamo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tout En Moi, Tout De Toi by Salvatore Adamo from Italian to English.
En ce temps-là, nous aurions décroché la lune
Back then, we would have reached for the moon
Pour gagner l'tour gratuit au manège de la vie
To win the free ride on life's carousel
Nous flânions en chemin, nous chantions pour des prunes
We wandered along, we sang for nothing
Cueillant de ci, de là le sourire d'une fille
Picking up here and there a girl's smile
C'était encore le temps des émotions primaires
It was still the time of simple emotions
On s'emplissait les yeux d'un couché de soleil
We filled our eyes with a sunset
Nous n'avions ni le goût, ni le sens des affaires
We had no taste for, nor sense of business
Mais un sens de la vie qui n'a plus son pareil
But a sense of life that's unmatched now
Comme avant, comme avant, en ces jours de lumières
Like before, like before, in those bright days
J'aimerais tant retrouver les parfums oubliés
I'd so love to rediscover the forgotten scents
Des bonheurs ordinaires, en ces jours de lumière
Of ordinary joys, in those bright days
C'était aussi le temps des amitiés sans faille
It was also the time of unfailing friendships
Prêts pour tous les départs, ensemble à l'arrivée
Ready for every start, together at the finish line
Nous étions deux amis et qu'importait la taille !
We were two friends and what did size matter!
Nous étions deux géants, nous étions une armée
We were two giants, we were an army
Comme avant, comme avant, en ces jours de lumière
Like before, like before, in those bright days
J'aimerais tant retrouver les parfums oubliés
I'd so love to rediscover the forgotten scents
Des bonheurs ordinaires, en ces jours de lumière
Of ordinary joys, in those bright days
Nous avions tous les pouvoirs, dans nos solitudes d'or
We had all the power, in our golden solitudes
Nous gardions tous nos espoirs, nous ne rampions pas encore
We kept all our hopes, we weren't groveling yet
En ces jours de lumière, en ces jours de lumière
In those bright days, in those bright days
En ces jours de lumière
In those bright days
Et nous passions les nuits à retoucher le monde
And we spent the nights reshaping the world
Et au petit matin, nous avions tout compris
And in the early morning, we had figured it all out
Nous avions les idées, nous avions la faconde
We had the ideas, we had the eloquence
Tout devait être beau, il suffisait d'un 'si', il suffisait d'un 'si'
Everything was meant to be beautiful, it just took an "if", it just took an "if"
Comme avant, comme avant, en ces jours de lumière
Like before, like before, in those bright days
J'aimerais tant retrouver les parfums oubliés
I'd so love to rediscover the forgotten scents
Des bonheurs ordinaires
Of ordinary joys
Comme avant, comme avant, en ces jours de lumière
Like before, like before, in those bright days
J'aimerais tant retrouver les parfums oubliés
I'd so love to rediscover the forgotten scents
Des bonheurs ordinaires
Of ordinary joys

Did you like this lyrics translation?
faconde — eloquence
Faconde translates to "eloquence" or "fluency of speech." It's a sophisticated and somewhat uncommon word, adding a touch of elegance to the lyrics.
In the song, it evokes a time of youthful idealism where the protagonists felt they had all the answers and the ability to articulate them, singing "Nous avions les idées, nous avions la faconde." It beautifully captures the confidence and expressive power of their younger selves.
