Paroles et traduction Paolo Conte - La canoa di mezzanotte

La canoa di mezzanotte

(Canzone di un capitano di cavalleria ad un prostituta pellerossa)
Ah, midnight's squaw, ah midnight's squaw
Bellezza mia, nel tuo palto'
Rubato all'esercito, ah, midnight's squaw...
La tua canoa, pantofola
Sulla burrasca dondola
Dimenticata, in estasi, ah midnight's squaw...
Midnight's squaw, chi va, chi va?
Tra i palazzi dell'oasi, chi va?
Lacrime indiane, in verita'
Non mi interesseranno mai...
(Jamboree)
Il mondo che conosci tu
Fatto di ocra e zigomi
Incanta tanti uomini ah, minight's squaw...
Specialita', da vivere
Avanti su provatela...
Moda cheienne di prateria, ah midnight's squaw...
Midnight's squaw, to ya, to ya
Midnight's squaw, to ya, to ya
A meadowy (nowhere) folly love
It's not a nomadic meadowy heart, yeah...
(Jamboree)
Ah, midnight's squaw, bellezza mia
Piena di sogni barbari
Rubati ai miei uomini, ah, midnight's squaw
La tua canoa posteggiala
In fondo al buio... non ridere...
Se ridi mi fai piangere, ah midnight's squaw...

Midnight's Squaw

(Song of a cavalry captain to a Native American prostitute)
Oh, midnight's squaw, oh midnight's squaw
My beauty, in your blanket
Stolen from the army, oh, midnight's squaw...
Your canoe, a slipper
Rocking in the tempest
Forgotten, in ecstasy, oh, midnight's squaw...
Midnight's squaw, who goes there, who goes there?
Among the palaces of the oasis, who goes there?
Truly, Indian tears
Will never interest me...
(Jamboree)
The world you know
Made of ochre and cheekbones
Enchants so many men, oh, midnight's squaw...
A specialty, to be lived
Come on, try it...
Cheyenne prairie fashion, oh, midnight's squaw...
Midnight's squaw, to you, to you
Midnight's squaw, to you, to you
A meadowy (nowhere) folly love
It's not a nomadic meadowy heart, yeah...
(Jamboree)
Oh, midnight's squaw, my beauty
Full of barbaric dreams
Stolen from my men, oh, midnight's squaw
Dock your canoe
At the bottom of the dark... don't laugh...
If you laugh, you'll make me cry, oh, midnight's squaw...
