Se c'è chi ha tanto dato e poco ha avuto
If there are those who have given a lot and have had little
Tu non sei certo amica mia
You are certainly not my friend
Io questa sera bevo alla salute
This evening I drink to health
Della mia prima compagnia
Of my first company
Voglio parlare dell'amore
I want to talk about love
Proprio di quello che ho pagato
Just what I paid
In questa vita tanto avara
In this very stingy life
Si paga tutto e ben pesato
Everything is paid for and carefully weighed
Amore facile di un'ora
One hour easy love
Dove non giochi la tua vita
Where you don't play your life
C'è un po' di gioia e mai dolore
There is some joy and never pain
Chiudi la porta ed è finita
Close the door and it's over
Io sono un uomo e non un santo
I am a man and not a saint
A volte mentivo una carezza
Sometimes I gave a caress
Allora era gratuito e non mi vanto
It was free back then and I'm not bragging
Anch'io cercavo tenerezza
I too was looking for tenderness
Poi si parlava in confidenza
Then we spoke in confidence
Di vecchie storie di famiglia
Of old family stories
Di cose tristi e di violenza
Of sad things and violence
Di chi dà niente e tutto piglia
Of those who give nothing and take everything
Non ho vergogna né rimpianti
I have no shame or regrets
Non ho domande né risposte
I have no questions or answers
Ho perso i giorni e sono tanti
I lost days and there are many
Ma li ricordo e tanto basta
But I remember them and that's it
La cosa valeva ben la spesa
It was well worth the expense
E la paura e il pentimento
And fear and repentance
La sera gli altri chiusi in casa
In the evening the others closed in the house
E noi andando contro il vento
And we are going against the wind
Ma quando le incontro per la strada
But when I meet them on the street
Mi fanno un poco di tristezza
They make me a little sad
E penso sempre a dove cade
And I always think about where it falls
Il fiore della giovinezza
The flower of youth
Se c'è chi ha tanto dato e poco ha avuto
If there are those who have given a lot and have had little
Tu non sei certo amica mia
You are certainly not my friend
Io questa sera canto e la saluto
This evening I sing and greet you
Quella mia prima compagnia
That first company of mine
