Un Tempo Piccolo Lyrics in English Tiromancino
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Tempo Piccolo by Tiromancino from Italian to English.
Verse 1
Diventai grande in un tempo piccolo
I grew up in a short time
Mi buttai dal letto per sentirmi libero
I jumped out of bed to feel free
Vestendomi in fretta per non fare caso
Getting dressed quickly not to pay attention
A tutto quello che avrei lasciato
To everything I was leaving behind
Scesi per la strada e mi mischiai al traffico
I went down to the street and blended into the traffic
Rotolai in salita come fossi magico
I rolled uphill as if I were magical
Toccando terra rimanendo in bilico
Touching the ground while staying on the edge
Diventai un albero per oscillare
I became a tree to sway
Spostai lo sguardo per mirare altrove
I shifted my gaze to aim elsewhere
Cercando un modo per dimenticare
Looking for a way to forget
Prechorus 1
Dipinsi l'anima
I painted my soul
Su tela anonima
On an anonymous canvas
E mescolai la vodka
And I mixed the vodka
Con acqua tonica
With tonic water
Chorus 1
Poi pranzai tardi all'ora della cena
Then I had a late lunch at dinnertime
Mi rivolsi al libro come a una persona
I turned to the book as if to a person
Guardai le tele con aria ironica
I looked at the canvases with an ironic air
E mi giocai i ricordi provando il rischio
And I gambled my memories, taking the risk
Poi di rinascere sotto le stelle
To then be reborn under the stars
Ma non scordai di certo un amore folle
But I certainly didn't forget a crazy love
In un tempo piccolo
In a short time
Verse 2
Ingannai il dolore con del vino rosso
I deceived the pain with red wine
Buttando il cuore in qualunque posto
Throwing my heart just anywhere
Mi addormentai con un vecchio disco
I fell asleep with an old record
Tra i pensieri che non riferisco
Among thoughts I won't mention
Chiudendo i dubbi in un pasto misto
Locking my doubts in a mixed meal
Prechorus 2
Dipinsi l'anima
I painted my soul
Su tela anonima
On an anonymous canvas
E mescolai la vodka
And I mixed the vodka
Con acqua tonica
With tonic water
Chorus 2
Poi pranzai tardi all'ora della cena
Then I had a late lunch at dinnertime
Mi rivolsi al libro come a una persona
I turned to the book as if to a person
Guardai le tele con aria ironica
I looked at the canvases with an ironic air
E mi giocai i ricordi provando il rischio
And I gambled my memories, taking the risk
Poi di rinascere sotto le stelle
To then be reborn under the stars
Ma non scordai di certo un amore folle
But I certainly didn't forget a crazy love
In un tempo piccolo
In a short time
Outro
E mi giocai i ricordi provando il rischio
And I gambled my memories, taking the risk
Poi di rinascere sotto le stelle
To then be reborn under the stars
Ma non scordai di certo un amore folle
But I certainly didn't forget a crazy love
In un tempo piccolo
In a short time
