Once or TwiceI’ll throw away the diceTwo Three FourStay a little moreCount on me to treasure
Jealousy for pleasureI’m close to that pointWhere I can’t rule my behavior
An eye for an eye
Show me what’s inside
A tooth for a tooth
Let me know the truth
Count on me to measure
All the weight of pressure
I’m close to that point
Where I can’t rule my behavior
Now we’re standing on the edge
What else am I suppose to do
You’re not half of the manI Thought you wereBut I’m not half of a womanI’m true
An eye for an eye
Show me what’s inside
A tooth for a tooth
Let me know the truth
Count on me to measure
All the weight of pressure
I’m close to that point
Where I can’t rule my behavior

Italiano
Blu,
il colore della libertà,

Blu, il chiarore dell' immensità,

Lassù, dove il mondo nasce e finisce

lassù, dove il sole splende e sparisce.

Soffio,
sulla vela bianca in balìa,

Soffio, su un uomo che non tornerà,

Respiro,
respiro della sposa ora lasciata,
Respiro
respiro dell' onda morendo sulla riva.
Français

Bleu,
La couleur de la liberté
Bleu, la pureté de l’immensité
Là-haut, où le monde commence et se termine
Là-haut où le soleil brille et disparaît

Un souffle
Sur la voile blanche en errance (ou qui dérive
?)
Un souffle, sur un homme qui ne reviendra pas
Un soupir,
Un soupir de la mariée laissée seule
Un soupir de l’onde qui meurt sur la rive

English

Blue
The colour of freedom
Blue, purity and immensity
Up there where the world begins and ends
Up there where the sun shines and disappears

A breath

On the white sail in the distance
A breath on a man who will never return
A sigh,

A sigh of the bride left alone
A sigh of the wave that dies on the shore

ItalianoMio povero amico come stai?

cosa sta succedendo? (cosa sta succedendo?)

vedo che sei sempre giù di forma,

mi sembri molto triste,

e poi non ridi mai.

Dimmi che cosa c'è di sbagliato

non ti riconosco più (non ti riconosco più)

Bisogna che lo dica a tua madre

che sei un po’ palliduccio,

e che non mangi più.

Mio Pippo,

mio Peppe,

Peppino,
non ti preoccupar,

Aspetta,
con calma,

sicuro,
che tua moglie tornerà

andiamo vieni, vieni, vieni con me

fuori fuori, non ti preoccupar,

tua moglie tornerà!

Ora va a rasarti quella barba,

e fa una bella doccia, (e fa una bella doccia,)

scegliei una camicia ben pulita,

pulita e ben stirata,

e il tuo capello nero

Ti porterò in un buon ristorante

a mangiare un po’ di pasta (a mangiar' un po’ di pasta)
Vedremo tutte le belle ragazze,

passando per la strada

che mostrano le gambe.

Mio Pippo,

mio Peppe,

Peppino,
non ti preoccupar,

Aspetta,
con calma,

sicuro,
che tua moglie tornerà

andiamo vieni, vieni, vieni con me

fuori fuori, non ti preoccupar,

tua moglie tornerà!

Français

Mon pauvre ami comment vas-tu
?
Qu’est-ce qui t’arrive
?
Je vois que tu es de moins en moins en forme,
Tu as l’air très triste,
Et tu ne ris jamais.
Dis-moi ce qui ne va pas
Je ne te reconnais plus
Il faut le dire à ta mère
Que tu es un peu trop pâle,
Et que tu ne manges plus.

Mon Pippo,
Mon Peppe,
Peppino,
Ne t’en fais pas
Attends,
Calmement,
C’est sûr,
Ta femme reviendra
Allez, viens, viens, viens avec moi
Sortons, ne t’inquiète pas
Ta femme reviendra

Allez, va raser cette barbe,
Et prends-toi une bonne douche
Choisis une belle chemise propre,
Propre et bien repassée,
Et ton chapeau noir
Je t’emmène dans un bon restaurant
Manger des pâtes
Nous regarderons toutes les jolies filles
Qui se baladent dans la rue
En montrant leurs jambes

English

My poor friend how are you doing?
What happened to you?
I see that you are less and less on form
You look sad and you never laugh
Tell me what’s up
I don’t recognize you anymore
Your mother should be told
That you’re a bit too pale
And you’re not eating anymore

My Pippo,
My Peppe,
Peppino,
Don’t worry
Wait,
Be calm
Your wife will come back

For sure
Come on, come with me
Let’s go out
Don’t worry
Your wife will come back

Come on, go and shave off this beard
Take a good shower
Pick out a nice clean shirt
Clean and well-ironed
And your black hat
And I take you to a good restaurant
We’ll eat pasta
And watch the pretty girls
Go by in the street
Showing off their legs.

ItalianoCo-sì,
Cosi mi ha lasciato solo,
Una mattina quasi normale
Dopo il caffè.

Cosi, mi ha lasciato il cane e il pesce rosso,
La pila di panni sporchi,

E i piatti da risciacquare.

Amore, non capirò mai,
Quello che in me non va,

Cosa ho fatto di male,

Le donne, sempre si giocan di me,

Maledizione!
Le donne,

Tutte da me, vanno via.

Così,
Così mentre leggevo il giornale,

S'è fatta la valigia e ciao

Non l’ho vista più.

Così,
Con passo svelto e leggero è fuggita

Un passo che mi diceva:

La cucina falla tu!

Français

Comme ça
Comme ça elle m’a laissé seul,
Un matin presque normal
Après le café.
Comme ça, elle m’a laissé le chien et le poisson rouge,
La pile de linge sale,
Et la vaisselle à faire.

Comme ça,
Comme ça pendant que je lisais le journal,
Elle a fait sa valise et ciao
Je ne l’ai plus revue.
Comme ça,
D’un pas rapide et léger elle a disparu
Un pas qui me disait
:
La cuisine fais-la toi-même
!

Mon amour, je ne comprendrai jamais,
Ce qui ne va pas
Ce que j’ai fait de mal,
Les femmes, se jouent toujours de moi,
Malédiction
!
Les femmes,
S’éloignent toutes de moi.

English

Just like that,
Just like that, she left me alone
An almost ordinary morning
After the coffee
Just like that,
She left me the dog and the goldfish
The pile of dirty laundry
And the washing up to do
Just like that,

Just like that,
Just like that, while I was reading the paper
She packed her bag and ciao!
I never saw her again.
Just like that,
With a quick and silent footstep, she disappeared
A footstep saying to me:
Do your own cooking.

My love, I’ll never understand
What’s the matter
What did I do wrong,
Women scorn me
A curse!
Women,
All get out of my way.

I’m reminiscing ‘bout this and that
What we said, what we laughed at

Seems like such a mystery

When we’d just laid a marker
Wanna spend time looking in my heart

I wanna spend time looking in your heart

When you said to me, you’d be right back
I had no reason to doubt that

You seem to be such a diplomat

When we were getting started

Wanna spend time looking in my heart

I wanna spend time looking in your heart
Just looking for a place to start

start, oh-oh-oh


I like to think when I’m looking out the window

Step back a minute, look at the sunrise, so remember me - oh

Another moment there will never be – oh

And take the time, to make some sense, and think about, the consequence
When I’m looking at you

When you’re looking at me

Wonder what it would be

Wonder what it could be


I like to think when I’m looking out the window
I like to think when I’m looking out the window



Depends now what you wanna see
The outside or the heart of me
Taking down my anxiety

The inside is under water


Wanna spend time looking in my heart

I wanna spend time looking in your heart


It’s an ever-changing scenery

I’m just along for the journey

Trying to take in the imagery
Landscapes they are colliding

Wanna spend time looking in my heart

I wanna spend time looking in your heart

Just looking for a place to start

start oh-oh


I like to think when I’m looking out the window

Step back a minute, look at the sunrise, so remember me - oh

Another moment there will never be – oh

And take the time, to make some sense, and think about, the consequence

When I’m looking at you

When you’re looking at me

Wonder what it would be

Wonder what it could be



I like to think when I’m looking out the window
I like to think when I’m looking out the window
I like to think when I’m looking out the window
I like to think when I’m looking out the window
