Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Io gli ho detto no by Lucio Battisti from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ma io gli ho detto no
But I said no
E adesso torno a te
And now I'm going back to you
Con le miserie mie
With my miseries
Con le speranze nate morte che
With the hopes born of death that
Io non ho più il coraggio
I don't have the courage anymore
Di dipingere di vita
To paint of life
A cercar calore un'altra volta
Looking for heat again
Ancora fra le braccia tue
Still in your arms
Scordando il già scordato
Fore fore foreaging the already forgeted
Color di mille lire
Color of a thousand lire
Ma io gli ho detto no!
But I said no!
E adesso resta no!
And now it remains no!
Anche se chi paga di più sei tu
Even if you are the one who pays the most
Dolcissima mia madre-amica-sposa e donna mia
Very sweet my mother-friend-bride and my woman
Orgoglio e poi
Pride and then
Vergogna di me stesso
Shame on myself
Ma io non vado via!
But I'm not leaving!
Orgoglio e poi
Pride and then
Vergogna di me stesso
Shame on myself
Ma io non vado via!
But I'm not leaving!
