Io finalmente ho vinto Sì, son finiti i guai Non mi vergogno, ho pianto Tu non puoi sapere che cosa mi è costata lei Neanche immaginare, mi sono superato, sai Tornare a respirare e non pensare più Le nuvole sul mare se ne sono andate Con un vento che mi porta su Come un ascensore e stavolta non ricado giù Mi vuole, mi vuole, il sole adesso riappare Mi vuole, davvero, mi vuole, ma chi mai l'avrebbe detto È matta la vita... che sarebbe finita così? E giorno dopo giorno ci credo un po' di più Le pesche in pieno inverno Come prevedere quello che non t'aspettavi mai? Come immaginare qualche cosa che sognar non puoi? Mi vuole, mi vuole, il sole adesso riappare Mi vuole, davvero, mi vuole ma chi mai l'avrebbe detto È matta la vita... che sarebbe finita così? (Mi vuole, mi vuole, il sole adesso riappare Mi vuole, davvero, mi vuole, ancora mi vuole Mi vuole, mi vuole, il sole adesso riappare Mi vuole...) Le pesche d'inverno © 1999 Mogol, Gianni Bella |
I finally won, yes, the troubles are over. I’m not ashamed, I cried, you can’t know what she cost me, nor even imagine, I overcame, you know. Returning to breathe and not think more, the clouds over the sea went away with a wind that carries me up like an elevator and this time I won’t fall down again. She wants me, she wants me, the sun now reappears. She wants me, truly, she wants me, but who would ever have said life is crazy . . . that it would have turned out this way? And day after day I believe it a little more, peaches in full winter. How to predict what you never expected? How to imagine things that you can’t dream? She wants me, she wants me, the sun now reappears. She wants me, truly, she wants me, but who would ever have said life is crazy . . . that it would have turned out this way? (She wants me, she wants me, the sun now reappears. She wants me, truly, she wants me, she still wants me, she wants me, she wants me, the sun now reappears. She wants me . . .) English translation © 2021 Dennis Criteser Io non so parlar d'amore was Celentano's first collaboration with the celebrated lyricist Mogol and Gianni Bella for the music on most of the songs. Released in 1999, the album remained in the charts for two years and is one of the most successful of his long career. |
I began exploring Italian popular songs as part of learning Italian. Here are my translations for some of my favorite "canzoni" by Italian singers, songwriters, and bands whose work I admire. It's a work in progress that can serve as a curated introduction to Italian popular music, with an emphasis on the 1950s through the 1990s. If you speak Italian, send me a message if you see lyrics I've misunderstood.
