Mani belle, mani addio
Beautiful hands, hands goodbye
Adagio un po' con brio
Slow a little with brio
La vita riprende dal fondo e con domani
Life resumes from the bottom and with tomorrow
Le mani dovrò usarle anch'io
I too will have to use my hands
Su questa roccia che è il tuo addio
On this rock that is your goodbye
E in uno scaffale del tempo cercare
And on a shelf of time searching for
Mani per la noia di quando piove
Hands for the boredom of when it rains
Mani per la gioia che si rimuove
Hands for the joy that is removed
Mani per la naja di attendere che un'altra mano appaia
Hands for the wait of waiting for another hand to appear
A cosa servono le
What are hands for
Mani non saprei suonavo il pianoforte su di lei
I wouldn't know, I played the piano on her
Credevo fosse un'arte e adesso che
I thought it was an art, and now that
Ne faccio delle mani se lei non c'è
What do I do with hands if she is not here
Non c'è, non c'è, ecco a cosa servono le mani
She is not here, not here, this is what hands are for
Per caso le ho sgranchite e già le rimuovo un pò
By chance I stretched them and already I remove them a little
Due farfalle di nuovo ho
Two butterflies I have again
Voglio uscire stasera che sia primavera o no
I want to go out tonight whether it’s spring or not
E voglio averne a piene
And I want to have them fully
Mani di noci da schiacciar così
Hands of nuts to crush like this
Di luce da inondare qui il contro veleno
Of light to flood here the antidote
Dei funghi dell'umiliazione
Of mushrooms of humiliation
Dell'unghie nelle tue sottane
Of nails in your skirts
Per me tu eri l'acqua, il pane
For me, you were the water, the bread
Il sangue, le vene mi servono buone
The blood, the veins, I need them good
Mani non le tue, da quattro sono diventate due
Hands not yours, from four they have become two
E stanno sempre in tasca chiuse a pugno
And they are always in the pocket, closed in a fist
Ferite dallo specchio del mio bagno
Hurt by the mirror of my bathroom
Vorrei strappare marijuana dalla terra
I would like to tear marijuana from the earth
Vorrei la pace e poi vorrei la guerra
I would like peace and then I would like war
Ma è vero non possiamo star lontani
But it’s true we cannot stay apart
In fondo voglio ancora le tue mani
Deep down I still want your hands
È inutile che chiami
It’s useless to call
A cosa servono le mani
What are hands for
Per caso le ho sgranchite e già le rimuovo un po'
By chance I stretched them and already I remove them a little
Due farfalle di nuovo ho
Two butterflies I have again
Voglio uscire stasera che sia primavera o no
I want to go out tonight whether it’s spring or not
E vai col tango delle mani amico mio
And go with the tango of hands, my friend
Appoggia il tuo violino sul leggio
Place your violin on the music stand
Del tuo tumore sa tutta l'orchestra
The whole orchestra knows about your tumor
Dirigi per il tempo che ti resta
Conduct for the time you have left
A che, a chi, a cosa servono
For what, for whom, what are hands for
Le mani adesso so
Now I know
A far le corna dire si o no
To make horns, to say yes or no
A pizzicare un dolce, un culo pieno
To pinch a sweet, a full ass
A dare un fiore, a dire io ti amo
To give a flower, to say I love you
A che, a chi, a cosa servono le mani se non puoi
For what, for whom, what are hands for if you cannot
Congiungerle e pregare senza un Dio
Join them and pray without a God
Ci puoi contare quattro cinque sei
You can count four, five, six
E modellare un'altra uguale a lei
And shape another just like her
A che, a chi, a cosa servono le mani bimbo mio
For what, for whom, what are hands for, my child
Ti spiego anche se son bambino anch'io
I’ll explain even though I am a child too
Le mani sono il mondo l'universo
Hands are the world, the universe
Il tempo ritrovato il tempo perso
Time regained, time lost
