Paroles et traduction Carmelo Zappulla - Cantastorie

Cantastorie

Non credo nei cantastorie
Che sanno tutto a memoria
E fanno di una poesia
La semplice fantasia
Ma quello che sto per dirvi
Non e scritto da copione
Racconto una storia vera
Poi state a sentire me

Lei mi guardava con quell′aria indifferente
Già sapev tutt è me
Che amavo solo la mia libertà
Vagabondavo la felicità
Ma lei più furba m stunaj sulu co 'e vas
Con la sua maturità
Forse era l′aria forse l'allegria
Lei già era mia

Mam se d ma ua va v uo vi va vi op vam se
Mo uam uam de va di uop d vua uand o se vi va
Vi op uu va va vo va vi op u va va du de
Va du de du de mu a vu op...

Ma subito fu la fine
Di questa storia un po' strana
In me lascerà un ricordo
Ma fors nun mo vo kiù
Quel corpo da me accusato
Male mi fa sentire
Io vittima del mio usare
Lei brava ad usare me

Lei mi guardava con quell′aria indifferente
Già sapev tutt è me
Che amavo solo la mia libertà
Vagabondavo la felicità
Ma lei più furba m stunaj sulu co ′e vas
Con la sua maturità
Forse e l'aria forse l′allegria
Lei già era mia

E durato poco
Era solo un gioco
Io ca m'illudev
Ess ca partev
Nun capev nient
Quas nun parlav
Mentr chell ven
Chiù salluntanav
Suppurtav o bene
Ma lasciavo o mal
Odio quelle sere

Sere d′avventure
Ma che amore amore
Tutte le parole
S perdevano accussi
E mo pur ij
So' ca ′e na delusione
Pur 'sacc ch 'e pote′ suffri′
Per una donna che ti pianta in asso
C sta' muri

Mam se d ma ua va v uo vi va vi op vam se
Mo uam uam de va di uop d vua uand o se vi va
Vi op uu va va vo va vi op u va va du de
Va du de du de mu a vu op...

Storyteller

I don't believe in storytellers
Who know everything by heart
And make of a poem
A simple fantasy
But what I'm about to tell you
Isn't written from a script
I tell a true story
Then listen to me

She looked at me with that indifferent air
She already knew everything about me
That I loved only my freedom
I wandered about in search of happiness
But she, the shrewder one, dazzled me only with her kisses
With her maturity
Perhaps it was the air, perhaps the gaiety
She was already mine

Mom if you go there I want you to see my uncle
Now I'm going to go to the store when I see you I'll call
I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you
I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you

But soon came the end
Of this somewhat strange story
It'll leave a memory in me
But maybe I don't want it anymore
That body, accused by me
Makes me feel bad
I'm the victim of my use
She was good at using me

She looked at me with that indifferent air
She already knew everything about me
That I loved only my freedom
I wandered about in search of happiness
But she, the shrewder one, dazzled me only with her kisses
With her maturity
Perhaps it was the air, perhaps the gaiety
She was already mine

It didn't last long
It was just a game
I deceived myself
Because I was leaving
I didn't understand anything
Hardly spoke
As that one came
Distanced herself more
I endured it well
But left with pain
I hate those evenings

Evenings of adventure
But what love, love is
All the words
Were lost like that
And now also her
I know that from a disappointment
Even though I know that I could suffer
For a woman who leaves you in the lurch
That's so hard

Mom if you go there I want you to see my uncle
Now I'm going to go to the store when I see you I'll call
I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you
I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you, I'll see you
