Io non son più io, mi sento da sola Qualche cosa dentro me è cambiato, ma cos’è? Oh oh, no! Oh, non dir di no e lasciami sola! Non dipende più da te Potresti regalarmi il mondo intero, che me ne farei? Io cerco solo il vento e una scogliera dentro gli occhi miei E sopra il mare volerei per non tornare, credimi, sola Non pensare adesso che qualcun altro sia con me, oh oh, no! Ti ho detto da sola, io con la mia anima Sarà che questo mondo ha rovinato tutti i sogni miei Se non avessi te che sei innocente, giuro, me ne andrei Ed oltre il mondo volerei per non tornare, credimi... sola Per sentirmi libera, finalmente libera Sola, io con la mia anima Ma chi piangerà, lo so, sarò io Io che resterò sola, sola Resterò sola, sola, sola Sola, sola, sola, sola Resterò sola, sola, sola, sola Donna sola © 1971 Luigi Albertelli, Dario Baldan Bembo, Bruno Lauzi |
I’m no longer myself, I feel all alone. Some things inside me have changed, but what? Oh oh no! Oh, don’t tell me no and leave me alone! It’s no longer up to you. You could give me the whole world, what would I do with it? I search only for the wind and a cliff inside of my eyes, and over the sea I’d fly, to not return, believe me, alone. Don’t think now that someone else is with me, oh oh, no! I told you I’m alone, me with my soul. It might be that this world has ruined all of my dreams. If I didn’t have you, who are innocent, I swear, I would depart. And beyond the world I’d fly, to not return, believe me . . . alone, to feel free, finally free, alone, me and my spirit. But the one who will cry, I know, will be me, me who’ll remain alone, alone. I’ll stay alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone. I’ll remain alone, alone, alone, alone.

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.
