Il Maratoneta Lyrics in English by Samuele Bersani
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Il Maratoneta by Samuele Bersani from Italian to English.
In mezzo a tanti partenti che sono pronti, partenza, via
In the midst of many starters who are ready, departure, via
Mi son promesso anch'io di correre domenica
I also promised myself to run on Sunday
Con canottiera acrilica e sciatalgia
With acrylic tank top and sciatica
La folla segue l'evento in strada ai lati o sopra il guard-rail
The crowd follows the event on the street on the sides or above the guard-rail
L'incitamento col megafono un po' scarico
The incitement with a slightly unloading megaphone
Dà un'emozione che non ho provato mai
Gives an emotion that I have never tried
Conto le ambulanze che passano
I count the ambulances that pass
Chi si è immaginato al traguardo si è già spompato
Whoever imagined the finish line have already led
Conto le auto in panne al semaforo
I account for the cars in the traffic lights
E le facce scure nei vetri di uno scortato
And the dark faces in the glass of one escorted
Mentalmente faccio un bel calcolo
Mentally I make a nice calculation
Si modifica lungo il percorso nel risultato
It changes along the path in the result
Come un discorso improvvisato
Like an improvised discourse
C'è chi è in salita e non suda e chi al contrario non smette mai
There are those who are uphill and do not sweat and those who on the contrary never stop
Chi per 42 chilometri persevera a ripassare gli alibi dei troppi guai
Who for 42 kilometers persevere to review the alibi of too many troubles
C'è chi è in vantaggio e ti aiuta e quando inciampi rallenta un po'
There are those who are in the lead and it helps you and when he stumbles he slows down a little
Ci sono quelli che ti spingono sul lastrico
There are those who push you on the pavement
Gli amici che ti fregano al telefono
Friends who care on the phone
Conto le ambulanze che passano
I count the ambulances that pass
Chi si è immaginato al traguardo si è impantanato
Whoever imagined themselves at the finish have become bogged down
Conto le auto in panne al semaforo
I account for the cars in the traffic lights
E le facce scure nei vetri di uno scortato
And the dark faces in the glass of one escorted
Mentalmente faccio un bel calcolo
Mentally I make a nice calculation
Si modifica lungo il percorso nel risultato
It changes along the path in the result
Come un discorso
Like a speech
Complimenti al quarto in classifica
Congratulations to the fourth in the standings
Il maratoneta in ritardo, povero atleta
The late marathon runner, poor athlete
Con i piedi in fiamme e la dignità
With the feet on fire and dignity
Di arrivare senza medaglia all'ultima meta
To arrive without medal at the last destination
Complimenti in quanto significa
Congratulations as it means
Che è possibile credere ancora a una vittoria senza corona
That it is still possible to believe in a crown without a crown
