Текст и перевод песни Salvatore Adamo - Com'ero Vecchio

Com'ero Vecchio

Dio com′ero vecchio quando non ceri tu
Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più
Dio com'ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore
Seduto in ufficio col colletto inamidato
Dietro le sbarre del mio bel vestito rigato
Respiravo appena e per poco ci sarei rimasto
Ma tu sei venuta un sorriso e mi ai liberato
Dio com′ero vecchio quando non ceri tu
Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più
Dio com'ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore

Mi facevo piccolo per non disturbare la gente
Lasciavo lo spazio a chi si credeva importante
E tutti i miei sogni gli schieravo nella mia mente
Ma oggi mi ami e di colpo mi sento un gigante
Dio com'ero vecchio quando non ceri tu
Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più
Dio com′ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore
Dio com′ero vecchio quando non ceri tu
Nemmeno nello specchio mi riconosco più
Dio com'ero grigio senza i tuoi colori
E successo quel prodigio che si chiama amore.

How Old I Was

God how old I was when I was without you
I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore
God how gray I was without your colors
And that miracle that is called love happened
Sitting in the office with a starched collar
Behind the bars of my nice striped suit
I could barely breath and I would have stayed there for a while
But you came with a smile and you set me free
God how old I was when I was without you
I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore
God how gray I was without your colors
And that miracle that is called love happened

I used to make myself small so as not to bother people
I left space for those who thought they were important
And I lined up all my dreams in my mind
But today you love me and suddenly I feel like a giant
God how old I was when I was without you
I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore
God how gray I was without your colors
And that miracle that is called love happened
God how old I was when I was without you
I don't even recognize myself in the mirror anymore
God how gray I was without your colors
And that miracle that is called love happened.
