Lyrics and translation Paolo Conte - Come - Di

Come - Di

Guàrdali, dai treni in corsa si sbilanciano
In cannottiera ti sorridono
Come di, come di
Come di, come di orchestra illusa a Napoli
E poi sgridata a Minneapoli
Comi di, Comédie
La comédie d'un jour, la comédie d'ta vie,
La comédie, la comédie
La comédie, la comédie
Ma cos'è la luce piena di vertigine,
Sguardo di donna che ti fulmina
Come di, come di
Come di antica amante vista a Napoli
Con lontanissimi binocoli
Comédie, comédie d'un jour
Pàrlami, dunque il ricordo si semplifica
Nel suono dolce ed infelice, qui,
Come di, come di, come di
Come di, come di orchestra che precipita
In un ventilatore al Grand-Hôtel
Comédie, comédie d'un jour
La comédie d'un jour, la comédie d'ta vie,
La comédie, la comédie
La comédie, la comédie

As - Of

Look at them, they lose their balance from the running trains
In their singlets they smile at you
Like of, like of
Like of, like of an orchestra deluded in Naples
And then scolded in Minneapolis
Like of, Comedy
The comedy of a day, the comedy of your life,
The comedy, the comedy
The comedy, the comedy
But what is the light full of vertigo,
A woman's gaze that strikes you down
Like of, like of
Like of an old lover seen in Naples
With very distant binoculars
Comedy, comedy of a day
Speak to me, then the memory simplifies itself
In the sweet and unhappy sound, here,
Like of, like of, like of
Like of, like of an orchestra rushing headlong
Into a fan at the Grand-Hôtel
Comedy, comedy of a day
The comedy of a day, the comedy of your life,
The comedy, the comedy
The comedy, the comedy
