Perché Lo Fai Lyrics in English by Umberto Tozzi
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Perché Lo Fai by Umberto Tozzi from Italian to English.
Con questa pioggia nei capelli, perché lo fai
With this rain in my hair, why do you do it
Con questi occhi un po' fanciulli e un po' marinai
With these eyes, a bit childish and a bit sailor-like
Per una dose di veleno che poi
For a dose of poison that then
Dentro di te non basta mai
Inside of you is never enough
Con le tue mani da violino, perché lo fai
With your violin hands, why do you do it
Tu che sei rosa di giardino dentro di me
You who are a garden rose inside me
Come un gattino sopra un tetto di guai
Like a kitten on a roof of troubles
Dimmi perché, perché lo fai
Tell me why, why do you do it
Perché lo fai, non rispondermi se non vuoi
Why are you doing it, don't answer me if you don't want to
Però lo sai che io vedo con gli occhi tuoi
But you know that I see with your eyes
E tu se vuoi puoi nasconderti dentro me
And you, if you want, can hide inside me
Finché non capirai
Until you understand
Perché lo fai, disperata ragazza mia
Why do you do it, my desperate girl
Perché ti sdai come un angelo in agonia
Why do you lie down like an angel in agony
Perché ti fai
Why do you make yourself
Perché ti fai del male
Why are you hurting yourself
Perché ce l'hai con te
Why are you mad at yourself
Perché lo fai
Why are you doing it
E il domani diventa mai
And tomorrow becomes never
Fra questi angeli nel fango di questa via
Among these angels in the mud of this street
Dove non entra più neanche la polizia
Where not even the police go anymore
Io non ti lascio in questo nostro Vietnam
I won't leave you in our Vietnam
Anima mia
My soul
Come la gente che lascia che sia
Like the people who let it be
Disperata ragazza mia
My desperate girl
Perché non vuoi che il mio amore ti porti via
Why don't you want my love to take you away
Perché lo fai
Why are you doing it
E il domani diventa mai
And tomorrow becomes never
Per te, per me, per noi
For you, for me, for us
Perché lo fai
Why are you doing it
Puoi rinascere quando vuoi
You can be reborn whenever you want
Perché tu sai che io vedo con gli occhi tuoi
Because you know that I see with your eyes
Se tu volessi vivere io non ti lascerei
If you wanted to live I would not leave you
Se ritornassi libera, se ritornassi mia
If I were to return free, if I were to return mine
Invece sei una macchina che va via
Instead, you are a machine that goes away
Perché lo fai
Why are you doing it
E il domani diventa mai
And tomorrow becomes never
