Vorrei sembrare per te
I would like to appear for you
Un bambino
Like a child
E camminare
And walk
Con te per mano
With you hand in hand
Vorrei sedere
I would like to sit
Dietro quel banco
Behind that desk
E tu maestra mi parlerai
And you, teacher, will speak to me
Insegna pure come si deve
Teach me how it should be done
Come si deve una donna amare
How a woman should be loved
Regina tu comanda pure
You, queen, command as you wish
C'è già la musica
The music's already here
Per sognare
To dream
Sciolgo le trecce e I cavalli
I untie the braids and the horses
Corrono
Run
E le tue gambe eleganti
And your elegant legs
Ballano
Dance
Balla per me
Dance for me
Balla balla
Dance dance
Tutta la notte sei bella
All night you're beautiful
Non ti fermare ma balla,
Don't stop, just dance,
Fina a che
Until the
Non finiranno le stelle
Stars cease to shine
L'alba dissolva il tramonto
And the dawn melts the sunset
Io non completi il mio canto
I won't finish my song
E canto te
And I sing of you
Intono musica canti e poemi
I compose music, songs, and poems
Mentre tu balli ti sciogli
While you dance, you melt
Di più
Even more
L'acqua si beve per dissetare
Water is drunk to quench thirst
Mentre ti guardo muoio per te
While I watch you, I die for you
Nella tua pelle migliaia
In your skin, thousands
Di stelle
Of stars
Lo spazio cosmico e ancor
Cosmic space and even
Di più
More
Dammi la vita dammi l'amore
Give me life, give me love
Riprova ancora e non ti fermare
Try again and don't stop
Sciolgo le trecce e I cavalli
I loosen the braids and the horses
Corrono
Run
E le tue gambe eleganti
And your elegant legs
Ballano
Dance
Balla per me
Dance for me
Balla balla
Dance, dance
Tutta la notte sei bella
All night long you're beautiful
Non ti fermare ma balla,
Don't stop but dance,
Fina a che
Until
Non finiranno le stelle
The stars have run out
L'alba dissolva il tramonto
The dawn dissolves the sunset
Io non completi il mio canto
I won't finish my song
E canto te
And I sing of you
Sciolgo le trecce e I cavalli
I loosen my braids and the horses
Corrono
They run
E le tue gambe eleganti
And your elegant legs
Ballano
Dance
Balla per me
Dance for me
Balla balla
Dance dance
Tutta la notte sei bella
All night you're lovely
Non ti fermare ma balla,
Don't stop but dance,
Fina a che
Until
Non finiranno le stelle
The stars won't fade away
L'alba dissolva il tramonto
The dawn dissolves the sunset
Io non completi il mio canto
I do not finish my song
E canto te
And I sing of you
Dammi la vita dammi l'amore
Give me life, give me love
Riprova ancora e non ti fermare
Try again and don't stop
