Paroles et traduction Gigi D'Alessio - È sulo niente

È sulo niente

Figl'da primma vota, io me ne mor'
Ca er' ne' penziere tutt'e sere. Lassan' nu ricord' e sper' ancora,
Ca m'accarizz' a faccia e io respir'. Nient', e' sulo niente chesta vita,
Sonn' e faccio finta e te sunna'.
Te cerc' semp' ppe miez'e cose e nun te truov' maje,
Ppe' vicariell' stritt' e senza sole, quand' pa man' me purtav'a scola.
Te chiamm' semp', dint'e mumenti brutti 'e chesta vita,
Quanno pur'io me sento abbandunat', p'avi' 'o curaggie ca me riv' tu.
Nasce nu chiar' 'n cielo e 'a notte mor', te cerco int'e poesie che scriv' ancor',
Tu m'accumpagn'a casa tutt'e sere, e miez'e scale poi me vas'ancora.
Nient', e' sulo niente chesta vita, nient' pecche' nun teng' 'a te mamma'.
Te cerc' semp' ppe miez'e cose e nun te truov' maje,
Ppe' vicariell' stritt' e senza sole, quand' pa man' me purtav'a scola.
Te chiamm' semp', dint'e mumenti brutti 'e chesta vita,
Quanno pur'io me sento abbandunat', p'avi' 'o curaggie ca me riv' tu.
Te chiamm' semp', dint'e mumenti brutti 'e chesta vita,
Quanno pur'io me sento abbandunat', p'avi' 'o curaggie ca me riv' tu

It's Only Nothing

My first child, I'm dying to see you,
Because you're in my thoughts every night. You leave a memory and a hope still,
That caresses my face and lets me breathe. Nothing, it's only nothing this life,
I dream and pretend and dream about you.
I always look for you among things and never find you,
In narrow, sunless alleys, where you used to take my hand to school.
I always call you, in the bad moments of this life,
When I also feel abandoned, just so you can give me courage.
A light is born in the sky and the night will die; I look for you in the poems I still write,
You accompany me home every night, and then you kiss me again on the stairs.
Nothing, it's only nothing this life, nothing because I don't have you, mom.
I always look for you among things and never find you,
In narrow, sunless alleys, where you used to take my hand to school.
I always call you, in the bad moments of this life,
When I also feel abandoned, just so you can give me courage.
I always call you, in the bad moments of this life,
When I also feel abandoned, just so you can give me courage
