Guardali, dai treni in corsa si sbilanciano
in cannottiera ti sorridono
Look at them, from the running trains they become unbalanced
in tank top they smile at you
Come di, come di orchestra illusa a Napoli
E poi sgridata a Minneapoli
As of, as of a deluded orchestra in Naples
And then scolded in Minneapoli
Ma cos’è la luce piena di vertigine,
Sguardo di donna che ti fulmina
But what is the light full of vertigo,
Gaze of a woman that strikes you
Come di antica amante vista a Napoli
Con lontanissimi binocoli
As of an ancient lover seen in Naples
With very distant binoculars
Parlami, dunque il ricordo si semplifica
Nel suono dolce ed infelice, qui,
Talk to me, then the memory becomes easier
In the sweet and unhappy sound, here,
Come di, come di orchestra che precipita
in un ventilatore al Grand-Hôtel
As of, as of an orchestra that falls
in a fan at the Grand-Hôtel
