Immagino sia stato
I imagine it was
Piuttosto complicato gestire cotanta bellezza
Quite complicated to manage so much beauty
E portarsela appresso in un mondo in cui tutti ne bramano un pezzo
And carry it around in a world where everyone craves a piece of it
In un mondo in cui tutti non badano al resto
In a world where everyone doesn't care about the rest
E forse neanche io ci riesco
And maybe I can't either
Un diamante è sempre un diamante anche se grezzo
A diamond is always a diamond even if it's rough
E forse col tempo cambia la cifra che sono disposti ad offrire
And maybe with time the amount they're willing to offer changes
Ma non cambia il prezzo
But the price doesn't change
Il prezzo che paghi, ogni volta che cedi, ogni volta che cadi
The price you pay, every time you give in, every time you fall
Musa di poeti, soggetto di quadri
Muse of poets, subject of paintings
Forgiata dal fuoco, la madre dei draghi
Forged by fire, the mother of dragons
C'è un mondo da scoprire se hai voglia di aprire
There's a world to discover if you want to open up
So che sei una donna bisestile, l'istinto è fuggire
I know you're a leap year woman, the instinct is to flee
Non dire no
Don't say no
Non dire no
Don't say no
Perché oltre ciò che non vuoi dire io riesco a sentire
Because beyond what you don't want to say I can hear
So che sei una donna bisestile, l'istinto è fuggire
I know you're a leap year woman, the instinct is to flee
Non dire no
Don't say no
Non dire no
Don't say no
Che poi lo sai anche tu la paura che fa
Because you also know the fear it causes
Se non rischiamo più siamo vivi a metà
If we don't risk anymore we're half alive
E non puoi dire no
And you can't say no
Non dire no
Don't say no
Che poi lo sai anche tu quale effetto ti fa
Because you also know what effect it has on you
Se non rischiamo più siamo vivi a metà
If we don't risk anymore we're half alive
E non puoi dire no
And you can't say no
Non dire no
Don't say no
Non è tutto come sembra da fuori
It's not all as it seems from the outside
Non è tutto rose e fiori
It's not all roses and flowers
Quante cose sfiori, quante cose rompi
How many things you touch, how many things you break
Quanta gente ignori, quanta gente incontri
How many people you ignore, how many people you meet
Tocca fare i conti
It's time to face the music
Ne vale la pena?
Is it worth it?
No davvero, ne vale la pena di sentirsi soli
No really, is it worth feeling alone
Anche dentro una stanza piena
Even inside a full room
Tra corpi senza un'anima
Among bodies without a soul
E notti senza sapore
And tasteless nights
Con l'ultima lacrima quando la pista si svuota
With the last tear when the dance floor empties
E appare in tutto il suo splendore
And appears in all its splendor
Sa di libertà
It tastes of freedom
Dopo secoli di aridità
After centuries of aridity
Non negare, magari ti va
Don't deny it, maybe you like it
Magari ti fa anche bene
Maybe it even does you good
Come fai a sapere
How do you know
Già non temere va
Don't be afraid, go on
C'è un mondo da scoprire se hai voglia di aprire
There's a world to discover if you want to open up
So che sei una donna bisestile, l'istinto è fuggire
I know you're a leap year woman, the instinct is to flee
Non dire no
Don't say no
Non dire no
Don't say no
Perché oltre ciò che non vuoi dire io riesco a sentire
Because beyond what you don't want to say I can hear
So che sei una donna bisestile, l'istinto è fuggire
I know you're a leap year woman, the instinct is to flee
Non dire no
Don't say no
Non dire no
Don't say no
Che poi lo sai anche tu la paura che fa
Because you also know the fear it causes
Se non rischiamo più siamo vivi a metà
If we don't risk anymore we're half alive
E non puoi dire no
And you can't say no
Non dire no
Don't say no
Che poi lo sai anche tu quale effetto ti fa
Because you also know what effect it has on you
Se non rischiamo più siamo vivi a metà
If we don't risk anymore we're half alive
E non puoi dire no
And you can't say no
Non dire no
Don't say no
Did you like this lyrics translation?
bisestile — leap (as in leap year)
Bisestile literally translates to "leap" as in "leap year." It's an interesting and somewhat rare word to find in song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the song, the artist refers to a woman as "donna bisestile" (leap year woman). This metaphor suggests she is rare, perhaps appearing only once every four years, or that she is elusive and hard to pin down, much like the extra day in a leap year. This unique comparison adds a layer of intrigue to her character.
