Mon ami, je ne parle bien français
My friend, I don't speak French well
Je salut Amadou e Mariam
Hello Amadou and Mariam
Salut Lorenzo
Hello Lorenzo
Je suis content de jouer ensemble cette chançon
I'm glad to play this song together
C'est la joie pour la vie de tout le monde.
It's joy for everyone's life.
Soyez le bienvenu en Africa
Welcome to Africa
Soyez le bienvenu en Africa
Welcome to Africa
La bella vita con l'esperienza che segna il volto
The beautiful life with the experience that marks the face
Le mani libere in tasca il giusto e nel cuore molto
Hands free in pockets, the right and much in the heart
La bella vita senza il delirio di onnipotenza
The beautiful life without the delusion of omnipotence
Con la passione che rende amica la sofferenza
With the passion that makes suffering a friend
La bella vita che dura un'ora tra due infiniti
The beautiful life that lasts an hour between two infinities
Ti vorrò bene per sempre e sempre sono minuti
I will love you forever and forever is just minutes
Tre, quattro
Three, four
Ooh la belle vie, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the beautiful life, Africa is chic
Ooh la belle vie, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the beautiful life, Africa is chic
Ooh la bella vita, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the beautiful life, Africa is chic
Ooh la bella vita, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the beautiful life, Africa is chic
Ooh la belle vie
Ooh the beautiful life
Ho nel cuore un desiderio
I have a desire in my heart
Che mi porta molto lontano
That takes me far away
Una storia senza fine
A story without end
Che lontano arriverà
How far it will go
Più feroce di una leonessa
More fierce than a lioness
Più veloce di una gazzella
Faster than a gazelle
Più leggera di una farfalla
Lighter than a butterfly
La bella vita
The beautiful life
Bienvenu en Afrique
Welcome to Africa
(Coro africano)
(African chorus)
La bella vita con una stella lassù che brilla
The beautiful life with a star up there that shines
E una farfalla che si è posata sulla tua spalla
It's a butterfly that has landed on your shoulder
La dipendenza dall'esistenza
The dependence on existence
La leggerezza della coscienza
The lightness of consciousness
Quando ti dice che il tempo andato non tornerà
When it tells you that the time gone won't come back
Mai più
Never again
Ooh la belle vie, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the good life, Africa is chic
Ooh la bella vita, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the beautiful life, Africa is chic
La bella vita dopo che hai perso qualsiasi appiglio.Africa
The beautiful life after you've lost any grip. Africa
Con il sudore come un diamante sul sopracciglio.Africa
With sweat like a diamond on the brow. Africa
La bella vita quella che auguro ai miei amici
The beautiful life that I wish for my friends
A chi si perde tra mille incroci
To those who get lost among a thousand crossroads
A chi la augura pure a me
To those who wish it even for me
Ooh quelle jolie fille, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh that pretty girl, Africa is so chic
Ooh quelle belle dame, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh that beautiful lady, Africa is so chic
Ooh la bella vita, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the beautiful life, Africa is so chic
Ooh la bella vita, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the beautiful life, Africa is so chic
Ooh la belle vie
Ooh the beautiful life
On chante toutes les chançons
We sing all the songs
Que nous viennent par la tete,
That come to our minds,
On danse, on saute, on bouge dans tout les sens
We dance, we jump, we move in every direction
On parle, on rigole, chez nous c'est la fete,
We talk, we joke, at our place it's a celebration,
L'Africa c'est chic
Africa is classy,
La bella vita,
The beautiful life,
La bella vita
The beautiful life,
La bella vita con il sorriso a trentasei denti
The beautiful life with a smile of thirty-six teeth,
E un po' di musica che lubrifica i legamenti.Africa
And a bit of music that oils the joints. Africa,
Con un amore abbastanza grande
With a love big enough,
Da far pensare che l'universo
To make you think that the universe,
L'han fatto apposta perché voi due vi incontraste là
Was made just so that you two would meet there,
La la la la
La la la la
La bella vita abbastanza bella da essere vita.Africa
The beautiful life, lovely enough to be life. Africa
La bella vita abbastanza vita da essere bella.Africa
The beautiful life, lively enough to be beautiful. Africa
La bella vita con i bambini che vanno a scuola
The beautiful life with the children going to school
E la fiducia che si accontenta di una parola
And the trust that settles for just a word
La bella vita senza confini senza confini
The beautiful life without borders, without borders
Come i bambini come i bambini come i bambini
Like the children, like the children, like the children
La bella vita, l'Afrique c'est chic
The beautiful life, Africa is chic
Ooh la bella vita, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the beautiful life, Africa is chic
Ooh la bella vita, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the beautiful life, Africa is chic
Ooh la bella vita, l'Afrique c'est chic
Ooh the beautiful life, Africa is chic
(Coro africano)
(African choir)
La bella vita.

Eccetra, eccetra, eccetra...
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...
Eccetra, eccetra, eccetra...
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...
La bella vita...

Eccetra, eccetra, eccetra
