E l'era tardi - Mina traduction en anglais

E l'era tardi

(Feat. Enzo Jannacci)
E l′era tardi... l'era tardi in quella sera stracca
Che m′è venu el bisognn d'onn d'smila franc par quatar ′na tratta...
Domandar, mi gh′avei vergogna... domandar, mi su no a chi l'è...
Gh′era el Rino, l'è vera! El Rino... soldà insemma int′i bersagliée!
Ma l'era tardi, l′era tardi in quella sera stracca,
E disturbaa la gent, scusa de poch, un laurar che el fiacca!
"La me scusa, sciùra... gh'è el Rino? la ghe disa: gh'è el bersagliée!"
El vien giò d′i scal in camisa... mi sorridi; lu gnanca onn vers!
"Ciao, Rino: scusa, el soo, l′è tardi, ma in questa sera stracca
Volevi saludatt; ciamà i bei temp de la guerra vacca!
Quante sere senza morosa, quando andavom a ciapàà i ciùcch!
Si, ma... Rino; gh'è un′altra roba: ...và no via, Rino!... Ciao, Rino... ohé!..."
E me el savevi: l'era tardi per disturbaa la gent
Ciapaa, magari, a fà l′amor... la gent che la gh'ha i so impegni...
Si, ma emm faa anca la guerra insemma, sott′ai bomb, contra ai fusilad;
Val pussée che on desmila lira in saccoccia desmentegà...
Si, ma emm faa anca la guerra insemma, sott'ai bomb, contra ai fusilad;
Val pussée che on desmila lira in saccoccia desmentegà

It Was Late

(Feat. Enzo Jannacci)
It was late...it was late that weary evening
That I felt the need of a thousand francs to gamble a bit...
To ask, I was ashamed...to ask, I don't to whom...
There was Rino, it's true! Rino...a soldier with the sharpshooters!
But it was late, it was late that weary evening,
And to disturb people, excuse me for a moment, a worker who is tired!
"Excuse me, miss...is Rino here? she says: is the sharpshooter here!"
He comes downstairs in his shirt...he smiles at me; he doesn't even say a word!
"Hello, Rino: excuse me, I know it's late, but on this weary evening
I wanted to say hello; it reminds me of the good old days of the stupid war!
So many evenings without a girlfriend, when we used to go and catch the donkeys!
Yes, but...Rino; there's something else: ...don't go away, Rino!... Hello, Rino...hey!..."
And I knew it: it was late to disturb people
Caught, perhaps, making love...people who have their own commitments...
Yes, but we also fought in the war together, under the bombs, against the firing squad;
It's worth more than ten thousand lire forgotten in my pocket...
Yes, but we also fought in the war together, under the bombs, against the firing squad;
