Paroles et traduction Davide Van De Sfroos - El Pass del Gatt

El Pass del Gatt

Sun vegnüü graand
Ma mea taant
In questu siit in duve'l suu te sbrana
Induè scapüscia anca la bissa
E induè'l tramuunt el g'ha mai prèsa

G'ho scià'n curtell
Per tajà i stagion o per lo mena per facch pagüüra
Vo in giir adasi per mea fa' pulver
E parli mai perché fa tropp cold

E ho fa'l bagn insema ai aspis
Ho majà scerees o ho majà caden
Gh'è anca una foto induè paar che ridi
Ma l'è una smorfia per la tropa lüüs

E in questu siit passa mai nissoen
Se ferma pioe gnanca 'l tempuraal
Ma me una sira ho basaa una dona
E de dree a una pianta l'ha ma di'l so nomm

E sto in soel müür della ferruvia
Quan che rüva un treno una volta al dé
Perché una sira ho basaa una dona
E soe quela pianta ho scrivüü'l so nomm

E l'è ruada cu n't el pass del gatt
Senza culzètt e senza amiis
El so suriis l'era meza facia
L'oltra metà l'era una cicatriis
L'ha mai spiegà de induè la vegniva
L'ha mai parlà de quel anell al dii
Ma'l tatuagg che g'han faa in presonn
Me l'ho vedüü quaand l'ha trà toe i vestii
Strengéva foort e se lassavi streeng
Cumè un ragn stremii muvevi i brasc che gh'eri
E me pareva de balà in un tango tra l'erba salvia
E tucc i pagn stendüü

E in questu siit passa mai nissoen
E anca se'l passa prema o poe'l ne va
Ma quela sira ho fa'l giir del muund
O forsi 'l muund l'ha faa 'l giir de me

E smorzi 'l suu cunt una cicada
Speci la nocc per tajacch el coll
E m' hann vedüü anca basà una pianta
Propri nel punta due' ho scrivüü'l soe nomm

Quaivoen se sfoga a catà i magiustri
A giügà ai caart là dedrée a'n tratuur
Quaivoen el dorma sura a una gazzetta
Per tucc i oltri gh'è dumà'l büceer

E in questu siit passa mai nissoen
Ma'l soe prufoemm urmai l'è che de ca'
Ogni taant la rüa ogni taant la va
Ho imparaa a speciàla e poe lassàla na

Cat's Paw

You just go away
But I still stay
In this place where the sun rages hot
Where even the snakes want to escape
And where sunsets never seem to hurry

I have a knife
To cut the seasons or to brandish to scare
I wander around so that I can scatter
And never speak because the cold freezes the very words

And I bathe with the asps
I eat lizards or chains
There is a picture somewhere where I seem to be laughing
But it's a smirk from too much light

And no one ever comes to this place
Not even the storm stops by anymore
But one night I kissed a woman
And against a tree she told me her name

And I stand on the railway wall
When a train comes by once a day
Because one night I kissed a woman
And on that tree I carved her name

And she came along the cat's paw
Without socks and without friends
Her smile was half of her face
The other half was a scar
She never said where she came from
She never spoke about the ring on her finger
But the tattoo they had given her in prison
I saw it when she took off her clothes
She held on tight and let herself be held
Like a dying spider she moved her last arms
And I thought I was dancing a tango in the sagebrush
And all the washing hung out

And no one ever comes to this place
And even if someone does come by, they just go away
But on that night I did a world tour
Or perhaps the world toured me

And I put the sun out with a cicada
Especially at night to slit its throat
And I have been seen also kissing a tree
Right at the point where I carved her name

Here some pass their time searching for mushrooms
Playing cards behind a tractor
Here some sleep on top of a newspaper
For all the others, there is only the rubbish bin

And no one ever comes to this place
But her scent is now of home
Sometimes she comes, and sometimes she goes
I've learned to wait for her and then to let her go
