Lyrics and translation Fabio Concato - P…come

P…come

P... come poeta, come Paris
Come perché non sei piu' qui
E sono Pi come pecora
E poi padrone di me nonostante i miei Pi.
Pi come Pierpaolo, come pulito
Come perché t'hanno ferito
E sono Pi come pavido
Ma poi ci ripenso e mi piace cosi.
Pi come perfidia, come pianto
Come perché mi hai preso tanto
Ma nell'amore succede cosi'
Resto per sempre poeta e Paris.
Pi come peccato, come paura
Come profumo d'avventura
Ma mi ritraggo, rifletto,
Ci penso per ritornare ai miei candidi Pi.
Pi paradiso, Pi pestilenza
Pi pessimismo di coscienza,
La filastrocca finisce cosi:
Si ricomincia dai primi due Pi

L... like

L... as in poet, as in Paris
As in why are you no longer here
And I am as timid as a sheep
And yet master of myself despite my many Ls.
L as in Pierpaolo, as in clean
As in why you were hurt
And I am as timid as a coward
But then I think again and I like it that way.
L as in perfidy, as in weeping
As in why you took so much from me
But that's what happens in love
I'll always remain a poet and Paris for you.
L as in sin, as in fear
As in the scent of adventure
But I withdraw, I reflect,
I think about it to return to my innocent Ls.
L for paradise, L for pestilence
L for pessimism of conscience,
And so the rhyme ends:
We start over from the first two Ls
