Translation of La Canzone Dell'Estate from Italian to English
As children in the courtyard
I chased the summer
Then I was dying of thirst
In the shadow of the houses
And the ball stuck
Between the Skoda and the Ford
The Russians and the Americans
Or maybe the cowboys and the Indians
And in the evening in bed
I sweated light dreams
A fantastic life
My plastic gun
And I didn't know
That I would have met you
I took aim, then shot
The summer song
That you tell me you don't like, our laughter
The summer song
In a world without peace
The polluted beaches
You dive into me
You dive into me
And meanwhile outside someone
Wanted to change the world
He threw the bomb on our years of lead
Meanwhile outside someone
That it's just you
There between joy and pain
Because outside there is hate and love
Now we toast to the sunset
Of another dying day
To this fantastic evening (fantastic)
With plastic glasses (plastic)
And I didn't know
That I would have kissed you
I took aim
Then loved
The summer song
That you tell me you don't like
The salty lips
The summer song
In a world without peace
The burned lives
You dive into me
You dive into me
You dive into me
But what a desire I have
But what a desire you have
But what a desire to go out
But what a summer it is
But what a desire I have
It drives me crazy
But what a desire I have
But what a desire you have
But what a desire to go out
But how beautiful it is
But how much it hurts
The summer song
That you tell me you don't like
The kissed rhymes
The summer song
In a world without peace
The private beaches
You dive into me
You dive into me
I dive into you
