Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 13 anni by Tiziano Ferro from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Avrebbe chiesto solo
He would only ask
Un attimo di pace
A Moment of Peace
Avrebbe chiesto solamente di ascoltare ancora
He would only ask to listen again
Un filo suo di voce
A thread of his voice
Me ne vado piano piano piano piano
I'm leaving slowly
Tu prendimi la mano
You take my hand
Io parto e non ti porto con me
I'm leaving and I'm not taking you with me
D'ora in poi pensa solo a te
From now on, just think of you
Avrebbe chiesto solo
He would only ask
Di perdere un po' i sensi
To lose your senses a little
Sarebbe stata sola
She would have been alone
Dispersa tra le stelle
Scattered among the stars
Oppure dio l'avrebbe messa a vivere in compagnia
Or God would have put her to live in company
Delle anime più belle?
Of the most beautiful souls?
Cadere stanca ormai stremata tra le braccia
Getting tired now exhausted in her arms
Degli angeli più attenti
Of the most attentive angels
Che dolci la raccolgono
What sweets do they collect it
E disattenti tendono la mano
And inattentive tend the hand
Ed io che ascolto ancora
And I still listen
E sempre ci ripenso
And I always think about it
Al camminare morbido e al tuo affetto regalato
To the soft walking and your affection given
Avvolto nel silenzio
Shrouded in silence
Risento flebile il candore tenero
The tender whiteness is faint
Geloso nella mano
Jealous in the hand
E tredici anni passano
And thirteen years pass
Perché la vita è un attimo
Because life is a moment
