Chissà dove sei, perduta nella notte
Who knows where you are, lost in the night
Col tuo trucco infame e la tua giacca da bandito
With your wicked makeup and your bandit's coat
Io ti ho aspettato all'ombra dei tuoi per come
I waited for you in the shade of your for what
Col mio viso angelico percosso dai fatti
With my angelic face struck by the facts
Chissà dove sei, perduta nei segni
Who knows where you are, lost in the signs
Con la tua sigaretta come una matita
With your cigarette like a pencil
E le tue speranze di vittoria
And your hopes of victory
Io ti ho accettato come una bella calligrafia
I accepted you like a beautiful handwriting
Un biglietto da visita e due occhi diversi
A business card and two different eyes
Può accadere di tutto
Anything can happen
Puoi anche conquistare vari uomini bruni e misurarne l'aspetto
You can also win over various dark-haired men and measure their looks
Ma il mio indirizzo è "Via del sopracciglio destro"
But my address is "Way of the Right Eyebrow"
Con rispetto parlando, e altre parti, altre parti di me
With all due respect, and other parts, other parts of me
