Paroles et traduction Andrea Chimenti - Ora o mai

Ora o mai

(Andrea Chimenti)

Quando uscì di casa vestito da lavoro
Dimenticò di salutare
Aveva uno sguardo come che non vede
E mille lire nella mano per il caffè

Non salutò il vicino e non aprì l'ombrello
E anche se pioveva aveva altro nel cervello
E davanti al mare si fermò a pensare

Ora o mai

Mentre una nave stava per salpare
Provò ad immaginare una terra lontana
Ma passo un amico, lo volevo fermare
Gli disse "entra dentro ti puoi ammalare!"

E pioveva pioveva, la nave stava per salpare
Si guardarono senza parlare
E ci provarono a pensare.

Ora o mai

Now or Never

(Andrea Chimenti)

When he left home dressed for work
He forgot to say goodbye
He had a look as if he couldn't see
And a thousand lire in his hand for coffee

He didn't greet his neighbor or open his umbrella
And even though it was raining, he had something else on his mind
And in front of the sea he stopped to think

Now or never

As a ship was about to set sail
He tried to imagine a distant land
But a friend passed by, I wanted to stop him
He said to him "Get inside, you might get sick!"

And it was raining, raining, the ship was about to sail
They looked at each other without speaking
And they tried to think.

Now or never
