Non arrossire Quando ti guardo Ma ferma il tuo cuore Che trema per me Non aver paura Di darmi un bacio Ma stammi vicino E scaccia i timor Il nostro amor Non potrà mai finire Stringiti a me E poi lasciati andar No non temere Non indugiare Non si fa del male Se puro è l’amor Non arrossire Quando ti guardo Ma ferma il tuo cuore Che trema d’amor © 1960 - Giorgio Gaber, David Pennati (music), Mogol, Maria Monti (lyrics) |
Don’t blush when I look at you, but steady your heart that trembles for me. Don’t be afraid of kissing me, but stay close to me and dispel the fear. Our love will never end. Hold me and then let yourself go. But don’t worry, don’t linger, there’s no harm if only it is love. Don’t blush when I look at you, but steady your heart that trembles with love. English translation © 2024 Dennis Criteser "Non arrossire" was released as a single in 1960 and included on Gaber's first album in 1961, a collection of previously released singles and new tracks. |
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.
