Translation of La città che odi from Italian to English
When you chase me
You're only looking for yourself
I'm a walking mirror
That shows you how you are
If you leave me here
You struggle to find yourself
You struggle to find me
How much do you ask of me?
More than I imagined
It was just extortion
But you also put your heart into it
Isn't it a bit too much, don't you think?
How will it end, how will it end?
How will it end
Now that I've slipped
From your hands onto the asphalt
I have to stay here
And I'm in the city you hate
I like it a lot
So much that I would live there
Maybe I'll buy a house there
I'll get a cat
It will cost a lot
What a life
What a life
You stole from me
You questioned yourself
You would never have done it
Without looking at yourself from the outside
My time lives in every breath
In every moment of awareness
But what does it feel like to be alone
Without first getting tired of others
Now that I've slipped
From your hands onto the asphalt
I have to stay here
And I'm in the city you hate
I like it a lot
So much that I would live there
Maybe I'll buy a house there
I'll get a cat
It will cost a lot
What a life
What a life
And I stay here
Even if you leave
The bed is near the wall
Where you don't want
I stayed here
Even with a thousand problems
And I don't need anyone
But the house is empty without you
I'm in the city you hate
I like it a lot
So much that I would live there
Maybe I'll buy a house there
I'll get a cat
It will cost a lot
What a life (hey)
What a life (la-la-la-la)
What a life (la-la-la-la)
What a life (la-la-la-la, la-la)
