Il dritto - Milva Übersetzung ins Englische

Il dritto

Festa, nella casa popolare al tre
Paste e vino in fresco come al tabarin
Gira, gira, gira il giradischi e va
Solo appoggiato in fondo al muro sta, zitto sta

Il dritto non sapeva ballar, non sapeva parlar, guardava
Il dritto non sapeva ballar, non sapeva parlar, fingeva
Diceva lui di odiare l'amore e scoppiava il suo cuore
Ma la vita lui no! La vita, sì, la vita lui, lui la prende così
La vita, sì, la vita lui, lui la prende così

Nubi, son petardi di cartone là
Lampi e la casa sembra un varietà
Suda, ma la fronte non s'asciuga mai
Gira, gira gira il giradischi e va, ma dove va?

Il dritto, lui si mise a parlar, lui si mise a ballar da solo
Il dritto seguitava a girar, continuava a gridar: "Perdono"
Gridava di volere l'amore, ma finì contro il muro e la vita finì!
La vita, sì, la vita lui, lui la finì così
La vita, sì, la vita lui, lui la finì così

Gridava di volere l'amore, ma finì contro il muro e la vita finì!
La vita, sì, la vita lui, lui la finì così
La vita, sì, la vita lui, lui la finì così

The Straight Line

Party, in the tenement building on the third floor
Pasta and wine chilled like in a cabaret
The record player turns, turns, turns and goes
Leaning against the wall, quiet and still

The straight line did not know how to dance, could not speak, he watched
The straight line did not know how to dance, could not speak, he pretended
He said he hated love and his heart burst open
But life, no! Life, yes, life, he takes it like this
Life, yes, life, he takes it like this

Clouds, they are cardboard firecrackers there
Lightning and the house looks like a variety show
He sweats, but his forehead never dries
The record player turns, turns, turns and goes, but where does it go?

The straight line, he started talking, he started dancing alone
The straight line kept turning, kept shouting: "I'm sorry"
He shouted that he wanted love, but ended up against the wall and life was over!
Life, yes, life, he ended it like this
Life, yes, life, he ended it like this

He shouted that he wanted love, but ended up against the wall and life was over!
Life, yes, life, he ended it like this
Life, yes, life, he ended it like this
