Pieno di dignità
Full of dignity
Ecco sua maestà
Here is his majesty
A chiedere pietà
Asking for mercy
Povero amore
Poor love
L'avrai capito ormai
You must have understood by now
Che tu da oggi in poi
That from today on
Non potrai fare più
You won't be able to do
Il dittatore
The dictator
Chi l'avrebbe detto mai che un tipo come te
Who would have ever said that a guy like you
Un giorno si sarebbe innamorato?
One day would fall in love?
Finalmente tocca a te a disperare un po'
Finally, it's your turn to despair a little
A comportarti da, da innamorato
To behave like, like you're in love
Appassionato, addolorato
Passionate, in pain
Innamorato ma, ma senza dignità
In love but, but without dignity
La superiorità
The superiority
Della tua libertà
Of your freedom
Adesso dove sta?
Now, where is it?
Fammi il favore
Do me the favor
Chiedi per carità
Please, ask
Eterna fedeltà
Eternal fidelity
Chissà che effetto fa
Who knows what effect it'll have
Povero amore
Poor love
Chi l'avrebbe detto mai che un tipo come te
Who would have ever thought that a guy like you
Un giorno si sarebbe innamorato?
Would one day fall in love?
Finalmente tocca a te a disperare un po'
Finally it's your turn to despair a little
A comportarti da, da innamorato
To act like, like a lover
Appassionato, addolorato
Passionate, heartbroken
Innamorato ma, ma senza dignità
In love but, but without dignity
Meriteresti che
You would deserve that
Facessi come te
I did like you
Ma io non lo farò
But I won't do it
Sono sincera
I am sincere
Ti amo come sei
I love you just as you are
Anche se in verità
Even though in truth
Sei sempre stato un gran
You've always been quite a
Filibustiere
Buccaneer
Chi l'avrebbe detto mai che un tipo come te
Who would have ever thought that a guy like you
Un giorno si sarebbe innamorato
One day would fall in love
Finalmente tocca a te a disperare un po'
Finally it's your turn to despair a little
A comportarti da, da innamorato
To act like, like you're in love
Appassionato, addolorato
Passionate, in pain
Innamorato ma, ma senza dignità
In love but, but without dignity
Appassionato, addolorato
Passionate, in pain
Innamorato ma, ma senza dignità
In love but, but without dignity
Appassionato, addolorato
Passionate, in pain
Innamorato ma, ma senza dignità
In love but, but without dignity
