A remake of Elvis Presley’s “She”, by Laura Pausini.
Lei il viso che non scorderai
L’orgoglio ed il coraggio lei Come un tesoro l’oro dentro gli occhi suoi Lei l’estate che ricanterai il giorno che ricorderai e mille cose che non sai che puo’ insegnarti solo lei lei la tua ragione il tuo perché il centro del tuo vivere la luce di un mattino che, che non perderai lei lo specchio dove tornerai dove ti riconoscerai semplicemente come sei, uguale a lei.
Lei l’estate che ricanterai il giorno che ricorderai e mille cose che non sai che puo’ insegnarti solo lei lei regala i suoi sorrisi senza mai svelare al mondo quando non ne ha privando il suo dolore liberta’, lei forse é l’amore che non ha pieta’ che ti arricchisce con la poverta’ di un gesto semplice che eternita’ lei la tua ragione il tuo perché il centro del tuo vivere la luce di un mattino che, che non perderai
lei lo specchio dove tornerai dove ti riconoscerai semplicemente come sei esattamente come lei lei….lei…..lei…..
She, the face you won’t forget the pride and the courage, she Like a golden treasure in her eyes She the summer you will sing again The day you will remember And a thousand things you don’t know That only she can teach you.
She your reason, your why the center of your living the light of a morning that you won’t lose, she the mirror where you will return where you will recognize yourself simply as you are, equal to her.
She the summer you will sing again The day you will remember And a thousand things you don’t know That only she can teach you. She gives her smiles without ever revealing to the world when it has none [denying] freedom its pain she perhaps the love that has no mercy that enriches you with the poverty of a simple gesture that eternity
She your reason, your why the center of your living the light of a morning that you won’t lose, she the mirror where you will return where you will recognize yourself simply as you are, equal to her.
By Elio e le Storie Tese, who also did Fossi Figo. This song was a huge hit when it first came out in 1996, with its punning, ironic references to topics such as Mani Pulite and various hospital scandals. (Pity not much has changed since… )
I don’t know if cachi (persimmons) has any special significance, unless it’s a pun on caca (poop).
This is one of the first songs someone requested me to translate when I started this “service” on the site. Sorry it’s taken me so long to get around to it. I don’t actually know the song, so may be missing some sfumature (shades of meaning).
The phraseti voglio bene is ambiguous, as I explained earlier.
