Un Tempo Piccolo Lyrics in English Tiromancino
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Tempo Piccolo by Tiromancino from Italian to English.
Diventai grande in un tempo piccolo
I grew up in a short time
Mi buttai dal letto per sentirmi libero
I threw myself out of bed to feel free
Vestendomi in fretta per non fare caso
Dressing quickly not to notice
A tutto quello che avrei lasciato
Everything I would have left behind
Scesi per la strada e mi mischiai al traffico
I went down the street and mingled with traffic
Rotolai in salita come fossi magico
I rolled uphill as if I were magical
Toccando terra rimanendo in bilico
Touching the ground while remaining in balance
Diventai un albero per oscillare
I became a tree to sway
Spostai lo sguardo per mirare altrove
I shifted my gaze to look elsewhere
Cercando un modo per dimenticare
Looking for a way to forget
Dipinsi l'anima
I painted the soul
Su tela anonima
On anonymous canvas
E mescolai la vodka
And mixed vodka
Con acqua tonica
With tonic water
Poi pranzai tardi all'ora della cena
Then I had a late lunch at dinner time
Mi rivolsi al libro come a una persona
I turned to the book as if it were a person
Guardai le tele con aria ironica
I watched TV with an ironic air
E mi giocai i ricordi provando il rischio
And I played memories trying the risk
Poi di rinascere sotto le stelle
Then to 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
Ingannai il dolore con del vino rosso
I deceived the pain with red wine
Buttando il cuore in qualunque posto
Throwing my heart anywhere
Mi addormentai con un vecchio disco
I fell asleep with an old record
Tra i pensieri che non riferisco
Among thoughts I don't report
Chiudendo i dubbi in un pasto misto
Closing doubts in a mixed meal
Dipinsi l'anima
I painted the soul
Su tela anonima
On anonymous canvas
E mescolai la vodka
And mixed vodka
Con acqua tonica
With tonic water
Poi pranzai tardi all'ora della cena
Then I had a late lunch at dinner time
Mi rivolsi al libro come a una persona
I turned to the book as if it were a person
Guardai le tele con aria ironica
I watched TV with an ironic air
E mi giocai i ricordi provando il rischio
And I played memories trying the risk
Poi di rinascere sotto le stelle
Then to 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
E mi giocai i ricordi provando il rischio
And I played memories trying the risk
Poi di rinascere sotto le stelle
Then to 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
