Paroles et traduction Adamo - Com'ero vecchio

Com'ero vecchio

Dio com′ero vecchio quando non ceri tu
Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco pi?
Dio com'ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore
Seduto in ufficio col colletto inamidato
Dietro le sbarre del mio bel vestito rigato
Respiravo appena e per poco ci sarei rimasto
Ma tu sei venuta un sorriso e mi ai liberato
Dio com′ero vecchio quando non ceri tu
Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco pi?
Dio com'ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore

Mi facevo piccolo per non disturbare la gente
Lasciavo lo spazio a chi si credeva importante
E tutti i miei sogni gli schieravo nella mia mente
Ma oggi mi ami e di colpo mi sento un gigante
Dio com'ero vecchio quando non ceri tu
Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco pi?
Dio com′ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore
Dio com′ero vecchio quando non ceri tu
Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco pi?
Dio com'ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore

How Old I Was

Oh my, how old I was when I didn't find you
I couldn't even recognise myself in the mirror anymore
Oh my, how dull I was without your colors
That wonderful thing called love happened
Sitting in the office with a starched collar
Behind the bars of my fine striped suit
I could barely breathe and I would have stayed there for a while
But you came along with a smile and set me free
Oh my, how old I was when I didn't find you
I couldn't even recognise myself in the mirror anymore
Oh my, how dull I was without your colors
That wonderful thing called love happened

I was making myself small so as not to bother people
I was leaving space for those who thought they were important
And I kept all my dreams lined up in my mind
But today you love me and suddenly I feel like a giant
Oh my, how old I was when I didn't find you
I couldn't even recognise myself in the mirror anymore
Oh my, how dull I was without your colors
That wonderful thing called love happened
Oh my, how old I was when I didn't find you
I couldn't even recognise myself in the mirror anymore
Oh my, how dull I was without your colors
That wonderful thing called love happened
