Lyrics and translation Carmen Consoli - Autunno Dolciastro (Provino Lab. Cantinone)

Autunno Dolciastro (Provino Lab. Cantinone)

Lentamente tra una pagina e l′altra di un libro qualunque
Ingannavo l'attesa gia′ settembre poche voci distanti e
Un autunno distratto al di la' dei vetri
Quasi speravo che non arrivassi piu'
Quasi credevo che non mi mancassi eppure stavo aspettando
Distrarsi sembrava piuttosto facile
Credevo di sopportare la tua indifferenza
Cercando pretesti e rimedi inutili
Eri tu quel tasto dolente eri tu autunno dolciastro eri tu
Freddamente valutavo i miei limiti
I gesti avventati le frequenti rinunce
Era tardi e bruciavano gli occhi fissavo il soffitto
Il mio letto disfatto
Quasi speravo che non arrivassi piu′
Quasi credevo che non mi mancassi eppure stavo aspettando
Distrarsi sembrava piuttosto facile
Credevo di sopportare la tua indifferenza
Cercando pretesti e rimedi inutili
Credevo di soffocare la mia insofferenza
Eri tu quel tasto dolente eri tu autunno dolciastro eri tu
Eri tu quel tasto dolente eri tu autunno dolciastro eri tu
Autunno dolciastro...

Autumn Sweet and Sour (Cantinone Lab Demo)

Slowly between a page and another of a random book
I fooled the wait since September few distant voices and
An absent-minded autumn on the other side of the glass
I almost hoped you would never come again
I almost believed I didn't miss you and yet I was waiting
Getting distracted seemed pretty easy
I thought I could bear your indifference
Searching for excuses and useless remedies
You were that sore point you were that sweet and sour autumn were you
I dispassionately evaluated my limits
The rash actions the frequent surrenders
It was late and my eyes burned I stared at the ceiling
My bed unmade
I almost hoped you would never come again
I almost believed I didn't miss you and yet I was waiting
Getting distracted seemed pretty easy
I thought I could bear your indifference
Searching for excuses and useless remedies
I thought to stifle my impatience
You were that sore point you were that sweet and sour autumn were you
You were that sore point you were that sweet and sour autumn were you
Sweet and sour autumn...
