Текст и перевод песни Nomadi - Soltanto un gioco

Soltanto un gioco

Contava fino a venti piano piano,
La faccia contro il muro del cortile
Sapeva ormai dove lei si nascondeva
Faceva finta anche di non vedere
Poi di corsa usciva dal suo posto,
Ma la prendeva sempre, la stringeva.
Solo un gioco si, solo un gioco sai
Quant'era bella,
Solo un gioco sai, solo un gioco ormai
Ma lei rideva
La bottega del paese era un bazar
Era meglio che sulle giostre
E dalle porte consumate lui guardava,
Lei faceva un po' la signorina
Si girava svelta si
E la lingua gli mostrava
Il sorriso gli negava.
Soltanto un gioco si, soltanto un gioco sai
Quant'era bella,
Solo un gioco sai, solo un gioco ma...
Ma le piaceva.
Un giorno uguale gli sembrava
E guardava nel cortile,
C'era un camion molto grande
E degli uomini robusti
Tutta scossa nel cappotto
Stava ferma non rideva
E guardandolo piangendo
Ha aperto le sue mani.
Solo un gioco si, solo un gioco sai
Ma andava via,
Soltanto un gioco sai, soltanto un gioco
Ma lui piangeva.
"E' tornata!" gli hanno detto
Quella sera i vecchi amici,
Gli parlavano di lei
Come fosse la pi? bella.
E' entrata all'improvviso
Per telefonare, si ma lui
Ha visto i suoi occhi sempre quelli.
Soltanto un gioco si, solo un gioco che...
Che le piaceva,
Solo un gioco sai, solo un gioco si
Ma lei rideva.
Lui si? messo li vicino
"Sono arrivata, s? sto bene,
Il tempo? bello, lui rimane
Solo qualche giorno. Poi adesso
? Gi? ciao ci sentiamo"
Si? girata ed il suo viso
? Diventato come quando lei correva.
Soltanto un gioco si, solo un gioco sai
Quant'era bella,
Solo un gioco sai, solo un gioco ormai
Ma lei rideva.
Soltanto un gioco si, soltanto un gioco sai
Ma andava via,
Solo un gioco sai, solo un gioco ormai
Quant'era bella.

Just a Game

He would count slowly to twenty,
His face against the backyard wall.
By now he knew where she was hiding
And pretended not to see her.
Then he would rush out from his hiding place,
But he always caught her, and held her close.
Just a game, yes, just a game, you know
How beautiful you were,
Just a game, you know, just a game now
But she laughed
The village shop was like a bazaar,
It was more fun than the rides,
And from the worn doors he would watch her,
She would act like a little lady,
She would turn quickly, yes,
And show him her tongue.
She denied him her smile.
Just a game, yes, just a game, you know
How beautiful you were,
Just a game, you know, just a game but...
But she liked it.
One day it seemed like any other,
And he looked into the courtyard,
There was a very large truck,
And some strong men
All shaken up in her coat,
She stood there, she didn't laugh
And as she looked at him, crying,
She opened her hands.
Just a game, yes, just a game, you know
But she was going away,
Just a game, you know, just a game
But he was crying.
"She's back!" they told him,
That evening, his old friends,
They talked to him about her,
As if she were the most beautiful.
She came in suddenly
To make a phone call, yes, but he,
He saw her eyes, still the same.
Just a game, yes, just a game that...
That she liked,
Just a game, you know, just a game, yes
But she laughed.
He stood close to her,
"I've arrived, yes, I'm fine,
The weather? Nice, he's staying
Just a few more days. Now, then,
Okay, bye, we'll talk"
She turned and her face
Became like it was when she used to run.
Just a game, yes, just a game, you know
How beautiful you were,
Just a game, you know, just a game now
But she laughed.
Just a game, yes, just a game, you know
But she was going away,
Just a game, you know, just a game now
How beautiful you were.
