Paroles et traduction Nino Taranto - Agata

Agata

Io mme metto 'o steccadente in bocca
Pe' nun fuma'
Nun ce vedo e nun me compro 'e llente
Pe' risparmia'
Vivo solo col mensile
D'impiegato comunale
Spacco 'a lira spacco 'o soldo
Spacco pure 'o duje cente'
Spacco 'e scarpe e nun me compro
Pe' te fa fa' lusso a tte
E tu invece te la intendi
Col padrone di un caffè
Agata tu mi capisci Agata
Tu mi tradisci Agata
Guarda stupisci
Ch'è ridotto quest'uomo per te

Mm'accattaje nu cappelluccio tuosto
Tre anni fa
Son tre anne 'o porto sempe 'ncapa
Nun c'e' che fà
Stu vestito grigio scuro
S'è cambiato di colore
E s'è fatto verde chiaro
Era n'abito 'e papà
E mm'ha ditto 'o cusetore
Nun 'o pozzo ripara'
Ll'aggio troppo riparato
Ve cunziglio do jetta'
Agata tu mi capisci Agata
Tu mi tradisci Agata guarda stupisci
Ch'è ridotto quest'uomo per te

Ho ridotto il pasto giornaliero
Sempre per te
'A matina nu bicchiere d'acqua
Senza caffè
Vengo a casa e nun te trovo
'O purtiere tene 'e chiave
Dov'è andata, 'a sala 'e ballo
Mi commuovo e penzo che
Te facive 'o pokerino
Tutte ssere 'assiemm'a me
Mo mme faccio 'o sulitario
Guardo in cielo e penzo a te
Agata tu mi capisci Agata
Tu mi tradisci Agata guarda stupisci
Eh, stupisci
Ch'è ridotto quest'uomo per te
Agata guarda stupisci
Ch'è ridotto quest'uomo per te

Agata

I put a toothpick in my mouth
To stop myself from smoking
I can't see well but I don't buy glasses
To save money
I live on my monthly salary
As a municipal employee
I split the lira, I split the penny
I even split the two cents
My shoes are falling apart but I don't buy new ones
So that I can spoil you
But you're seeing
The owner of a café
Agata, you understand me, Agata
You're cheating on me, Agata
Look, be amazed
At what this man has been reduced to for you

I bought a stylish little hat
Three years ago
I've been wearing it on my head ever since
There's nothing I can do
This dark gray suit
Has changed color
And has become light green
It was my father's suit
And the tailor told me
I can't fix it
I've fixed it too many times
I advise you to throw it away
Agata, you understand me, Agata
You're cheating on me, Agata, look, be amazed
At what this man has been reduced to for you

I've cut down on my daily meals
Always for you
In the morning, a glass of water
Without coffee
I come home and I can't find you
The doorman has the key
Where did you go, to the dance hall?
I get emotional and I think that
You were playing poker
With all those men
Now I play solitaire
I look up at the sky and I think of you
Agata, you understand me, Agata
You're cheating on me, Agata, look, be amazed
Hey, be amazed
At what this man has been reduced to for you
Agata, look, be amazed
At what this man has been reduced to for you
