Gianmaria Testa - 20 mila leghe (in fondo al mare) Лирицс транслатион то енглисх

English

Twenty thousand leagues (under the seas)

The first was the Cape of Good Hope
Closed by law and special decree
So that the Pacific waves would quit
Bastardizing that other sea.

Next it was the turn of Panama and Suez
And then of the Bosporus and Gibraltar:
Every last wave demanded
Respect for its sovereign independence

No more exchanges of water and fish
No more round-the-world trips in sailing ships
All canals were closed
To the passage of foreign waves

Thus for a time the waters of all
The planet's seas became calm again
But before long it began again: a wave said
That it was time to end it all

And so it happened that one day in our local sea
The Ionian demanded to be alone
And so did the Tyrrhenian and the Sicilian Strait
And the Adriatic forthwith

In short, 'let no one mix with anyone else'
Thundered the waters of the shallows
'Let each remain anchored in place
And bathe only the sands of her birth.'

It seemed to be over but it was only the beginning
And it was truly ugly to see
In what once was a vast expanse
The gashes of trenches rending the sea

It was only the beginning, as we said
Because now the secessionist fever
Was sickening every single shore
And nothing and no one managed to say 'enough'

And thus from Trieste to the tip of Apulia
From Sicily to the Italian Riviera
Every last tiny creek demanded
Independence and not in name only

But the matter went shabby
When they seized each other drop by drop
And, each eyeing her neighbor, said
'Go away or I'll break your face'

The sea was soon an assemblage of dewdrops
Of no use to fish or any creature
Tuna, anchovies, and swordfish died
Deep-sea vessels stayed on dry land

And then one day or (I'm not sure) one night
Something even stranger happened
Do you know the formula H2O?
Yes, the one for water that we all know

Well, hydrogen took exception
And claimed to have a majority
And thus the sovereign right
To pursue now-hallowed independence

A kind of wind blew, an infinite gust
And the water of the seas vaporized into the sky
There remained a desert of salt and granite
But dark and deep, blacker than black

Isabella Iannetti - Parla con lui Лирицс транслатион то енглисх

22.10.2024

Speak to Him

You're a friend and I know it,
I trust you and therefore
if I ask you a favor,
you shouldn't say no,
you mustn't say no to me.

Then speak to him,
you who know everything about me.
Tell him that yesterday
I went out with you.

Speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him.

Yes, I know you're sorry,
but it's your fault that he
this evening
didn't show up with me
and you already understood why.

And so speak to him,
make peace between us
and don't tell me,
don't tell me that you can't.

Oh, speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, speak to him,
you who know everything about me.
Tell him that yesterday
I went out with you.

Speak to him,
you know what I did.
Please tell him
that I never lied to him!

Isabella Iannetti - Stanotte sentirai una canzone Лирицс транслатион то енглисх

22.10.2024

Tonight You'll Hear a Song

Tonight you'll hear a song,
a song you already know.
The woman you no longer love will sing it,
the woman who will leave you but who won't cry.

A song that will tell you about me,
that will stay with you throughout your life,
a song be will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.

Tonight I'll relive for the last time
these moments that I'll no longer find
but when I disappear and only you are found,
you'll cry because you'll remember.

A song that will tell you about me,
that will be with you throughout your life,
a song that will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.

A song that will tell you about me,
that will be with you throughout your life,
a song that will leave a mark in your heart
that will never be erased.

Isabella Iannetti - Un reflesso nell’acqua Лирицс транслатион то енглисх

A Reflection in the Water

It was
a moonlit evening,
under the bridge the river slept
and a woman sang.

Clear,
the water slipped away
and the image of your smile
the river mirrored.

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing remained,
but I inside my mind
still see you.

It was
a moonlit evening,
your voice spoke
and the river silently listened.

And it was,
almost a year has passed
but every evening I return to look
into the river to dream.

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing has changed,
the water slowly stops,
I still see you.

A reflection in the water,
a reflection in the water,
the current passed
but nothing has changed,
the water slowly stops,
I still see you.

Isabella Iannetti - Una famiglia Лирицс транслатион то енглисх

A Family

Evening will come,
you'll return home
and without a word, you'll sit at the table
in your place as always.

Then when you have finished,
you'll tell us kids:
leave me alone and glue your eyes
for an hour on the newspaper.

But read inside the eyes
of mom what is there.
Notice that she wants
to talk a bit with you.

You cannot call life
this life you give her
if you have nothing left
to share with her.

I know that you are not wicked,
that deep down you love her.
Don't make her pay for the usual bitterness that
life gives you.

You think about your hopes
of a long time ago
starting when you wanted
to become who knows who.

But look that you are
someone at least among us,
you're not mistaken,
life is precisely this here.

When you come home,
bring a smile with you,
then we'll talk together, that way we'll become
at last a family,
a true family,
a true family.
