Non parliamo più, a parlar non serve un granché
Let's not talk anymore, talking doesn’t mean much at all
Mangiale anche tu le castagne arrosto con me
You too should eat roasted chestnuts with me
Hai ragione, sai, io non sarò mai come vuoi
You’re right, you know, I’ll never be what you want
Guarda c'è un bel film, se facciamo in tempo, ci andrei
Look, there’s a great movie, if we make it in time, I’d go
Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino
Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino
La Dunaway, entriamo c'è anche lei
Faye Dunaway, let's go in, she's there too
C'è un posto, siedi
There’s a seat, sit down
Io resto in piedi
I’ll stay standing
Guarda lei, è proprio come ti vorrei
Look at her, she’s just like I want you to be
Guarda lei, lo ama e non si lamenta mai
Look at her, she loves him and never complains
In fondo lui assomiglia a me
In the end, he resembles me.
Perché non mi capisci, dimmelo perché
Why don't you understand me, tell me why.
Guarda lei, guardala
Look at her, look at her.
Cosa c'entra se lui la sta portando in Rolls Royce
What does it matter if he's taking her in a Rolls Royce?
Sta tranquilla che verrebbe anche sulla Mini con me
Don't worry, she'd come with me in a Mini too.
Non vedi che per amore lei sta diventando assassina?
Don't you see that for love she's becoming a killer?
La donna, la vera donna è quella che resta vicina
The woman, the real woman is the one who stays close.
E invece tu, e invece tu
And instead you, and instead you.
E invece tu, beh, non ne parliamo più
And instead you, well, let's not talk about it anymore.
Vuoi il gelato?
Do you want ice cream?
È aumentato
It has increased
Guarda lei, è proprio come ti vorrei
Look at her, she's just like I want you to be
Guarda lei, lo ama e non si lamenta mai
Look at her, she loves him and never complains
In fondo lui assomiglia a me
In the end, he resembles me
Perché non mi capisci, dimmelo perché
Why don’t you understand me, tell me why
Guarda lei, guardala
Look at her, look at her
Tu-du-du-di-du
Tu-du-du-di-du
Tu-ru-ru-ri-ru
Tu-ru-ru-ri-ru
Che cosa dici
What do you say
Se questa sera
If this evening
Pranziamo fuori?
Shall we have lunch outside?
Potremmo andare
We could go
Poi, per cambiare
Then, to change things up
Anche a ballare
Even to dance
Guarda lei, è proprio come ti vorrei
Look at her, she's just like I want you to be
Guarda lei, lo ama e non si lamenta mai
Look at her, she loves him and never complains
In fondo lui assomiglia a me
Deep down he resembles me
Perché non mi capisci, dimmelo perché
Why don't you understand me, tell me why
Guarda lei, guardala
Look at her, look at her
Tu-ru-ru-ri-ru
Tu-ru-ru-ri-ru
Tu-ru-ru-ri-ra
Tu-ru-ru-ri-ra
Tu-ru-ru-ri-ra
Tu-ru-ru-ri-ra
Tu-ru-ra
Tu-ru-ra
