Paroles et traduction Enzo Jannacci - Per un basin

Per un basin

Sabato sera di tanti anni fa
Avei faa on gir s′era dree a torna' a ca′
Quando ho sentito ona musica anda'
Da on post ciamaa la balera di fraa

Mi sono sentito qui dentro bruciare perché...
Ma alora gh'avevi vint′ann
Per on basin mi soo no ma quella sera
Avria daa la vita intera proprio insci′
Per on basin frin frin
Per on basin mi saria parti' soldato
Sarei andato a Como in moto
Poeu saria tornaa a ca′ a pee

Ingresso "on franc" non è caro de bon
De la giachetta me manca on botton
Mi scappa l'occhio vesin ai
Calzonte vedet no che te gh′ee su' i scarpon

Che cosa importa se gia′ me ridevan adree'
Ormai se po' pu′ torna′ indree'

Per on basin mi soo no ma quella sera
Avria daa la vita intera proprio insci′
Per on basin frin frin
Per on basin mi saria parti' soldato
Sarei andato a Como in moto
Poeu saria tornaa a ca′ a pee

Passa mezz'ora sonava el viiolin
Contegno... Gio′ on alter biccer de vin
Me guardi in gir ch'era tanti tossan
Ma non è facile anda' su a bala′
Mi s′era su e gh'avevi vergogna a cerca′
"Lei balla?" "Soltanto fox-trot"

Per on basin mi soo no ma quella sera
Avria daa la vita intera proprio insci'
Per on basin frin frin
Per on basin mi saria parti′ soldato
Sarei andato a Como in moto
Poeu saria tornaa a ca' a pee

Tacca l′orchestra a sona' on polveron
Tutti i moment la me guarda i scarpon
On bel moment me son faa visin
Lei, signorina, la me da' on basin?

Ferma l′orchestra, ghe′ riva' anca i carabinier
Gh′e' vun che me sgagna anca on pee...

Per on basin domandato quella sera
M′hann cascia' da la balera
M′hann tratta' come un vilan
Frin fran
Per on basin, roba senza risultato
M'han cansciato in uno stato
Se ricordi ancamo′ adess

Per on basin domandato quella sera
M′hann cascia' da la balera
M′hann tratta' come un vilan
Frin fran
Per on basin, roba senza risultato
M′han conciato in uno stato
Se ricordi ancamo' adess

For a Kiss

Saturday night, many years ago
I had taken a walk and was on my way home
When I heard music playing
From a place called the monks' dance hall

I felt myself burning inside because...
But I was only twenty then
I would have given my whole life for a kiss that night
That's what I would have done
For just one kiss
I would have gone straight into the army
I would have gone to Como on my motorbike
And I would have walked home

Entrance "one franc" is not expensive
My jacket is missing a button
My eye is caught by
Trousers: watch out, it's raining where you are

What does it matter if they're laughing at me already?
There's no going back now

I would have given my whole life for a kiss that night
That's what I would have done
For just one kiss
I would have gone straight into the army
I would have gone to Como on my motorbike
And I would have walked home

Half an hour passed and the violin was playing
Calm down... I'll have another glass of wine
I looked around, there were so many beautiful women
But it's not easy to ask a woman to dance
I got up my courage and was ashamed to ask
"Do you dance?" "Only the fox-trot"

I would have given my whole life for a kiss that night
That's what I would have done
For just one kiss
I would have gone straight into the army
I would have gone to Como on my motorbike
And I would have walked home

The orchestra starts to play a waltz
At every moment, she looks at my shoes
At one point I got close to her
Miss, can I have a kiss?

The orchestra stops, and the carabinieri arrive
One of them even kicked me

For a kiss I asked that night
They threw me out of the dance hall
They treated me like a peasant
Frin fran
For a kiss, something worthless
They left me in a state
If you still remember it now

For a kiss I asked that night
They threw me out of the dance hall
They treated me like a peasant
Frin fran
For a kiss, something worthless
They left me in a state
If you still remember it now
