Un uomo come me
A man like me
Se ha sete beve vino
If he's thirsty, he drinks wine
Se ha fame chiede il pane al suo vicino
If he's hungry, he asks his neighbor for bread
Un uomo come me
A man like me
Quando regala un fiore
When he gives a flower
Non è un fiore comprato, ma è colto sotto al sole
It's not a bought flower, but one picked under the sun
Un uomo come me
A man like me
La casa dove è nato
The house where he was born
L'abita senza luna quando dorme sul prato
He lives in it without a moon when he sleeps on the grass
Un uomo come me
A man like me
Sorride e parla poco
He smiles and says little
Perché legge nei tuoi occhi e poi capisce il gioco
Because he reads in your eyes and then understands the game
Un uomo come me
A man like me
Ha un lupo dentro il cuore
Has a wolf inside his heart
Lo senti gridare, ma non credi all'amore
You hear it howl, but don't believe in love
Un uomo come me
A man like me
Quando ti dice addio
When he says goodbye
Tu dici arrivederci e pensi è ancora mio
You say farewell and think he's still mine
Un uomo come me
A man like me
Aspetta il tuo ritorno
Waits for your return
Liberando nel vento una rondine al giorno
Releasing into the wind a swallow a day
Un uomo come me
A man like me
Si allontana di sera
Walks away in the evening
Credeva fosse inverno e muore a primavera
Thought it was winter and dies in spring
