Текст и перевод песни Umberto Tozzi - Le parole

Le parole

Le parole contano, dille piano, tante volte rimangono
Fanno male anche se dette per rabbia
Si ricordano, si ricordano

Le parole, quante volte rimangono le parole?
Feriscono, le parole, ti cambiano
Ti bastava anche un filo di voce per dirmi ti amo
Ma quante volte mi hai urlato sul viso che valevo poco

Mi sentivo un bambino immaturo e magari ero un uomo
Ti credevo una donna importante, eri donna a metà
Dimmi che rimane di noi due, dimmi chi ci riavvicinerà
A te sembrava un gioco, bello se dura poco
Era una cena fredda da consumarsi in fretta
A te sembrava un gioco, bello se dura poco
Era una cena fredda che hai consumato in fretta

Le parole mordono, hanno fame, come i cani ti ringhiano
Dentro il cuore fanno male e si insinuano, ti consumano, ti divorano

Le parole fanno danni invisibili, sono note che aiutano e che la notte confortano
Quante volte leggere e preziose me le hai sussurrate
Ma altre volte mi hai dato del pazzo se di te morivo

Mi sentivo un bambino immaturo e magari ero un uomo
Ti sentivo una donna importante, eri donna a metà
Dimmi che rimane di noi due, dimmi chi ci riavvicinerà
A te sembrava un gioco, bello se dura poco
Era una cena fredda da consumarsi in fretta
A te sembrava un gioco, bello se dura poco
Era una cena fredda che hai consumato in fretta

A te sembrava un gioco, bello se dura poco
Era una cena fredda che hai consumato in fretta

The words

Words matter, speak them softly, so often they linger
They hurt even if spoken in anger
They are remembered, they are remembered

The words, how often do the words remain?
They hurt, the words, they change you
A whisper would have been enough to tell me you loved me
But how many times did you scream in my face that I was worth little

I felt like an immature child and maybe I was a man
I thought you were an important woman, you were a woman halfway
Tell me what remains of the two of us, tell me who will bring us back together
It seemed like a game to you, beautiful if it lasted a short time
It was a cold dinner to be eaten in a hurry
It seemed like a game to you, beautiful if it lasted a short time
It was a cold dinner that you ate quickly

Words bite, they are hungry, like dogs they growl at you
Inside the heart they hurt and sneak in, they consume you, they devour you

Words do invisible damage, they are notes that help and that at night comfort
How many times have you whispered them to me, soft and precious
But other times you called me crazy if I was dying for you

I felt like an immature child and maybe I was a man
I saw you as an important woman, you were a woman halfway
Tell me what remains of the two of us, tell me who will bring us back together
It seemed like a game to you, beautiful if it lasted a short time
It was a cold dinner to be eaten in a hurry
It seemed like a game to you, beautiful if it lasted a short time
It was a cold dinner that you ate quickly

It seemed like a game to you, beautiful if it lasted a short time
It was a cold dinner that you ate quickly
