Lyrics " Sottopassaggio "

Original text with translation

Sottopassaggio

Antonello Venditti

Original text

Suona più piano il cieco del sottopassaggio

Sa che tra poco io gli sarò davanti

La monetina cadrà e lui si toglierà il cappello

E il suo violino di nuovo suonerà

Suona ad orecchio e ad orecchio io gli vado bene

Per quell’istinto strano che unisce due persone

Io quando posso gli ricordo il mondo che lui vuole

Lui quando suona mi fa sentire uomo

Vorrei parlarti, cieco del sottopassaggio

Vorrei fermarmi e chiederti perdono

Per questi passi che tu non puoi vedere

Ma se parlassi, io non sarei più buono

Vorrei portarti in cima al grattacielo

E poi gridarti: «Ecco la tua città»

Tu capiresti e mi dispiacerebbe

La monetina cade, domani tornerò

Song translation

The blind man in the underpass plays quieter

He knows that soon I'll be in front of him

The dime will fall and he will take off his hat

And his violin will play him again

He plays by ear and by ear I suit him

For that strange instinct that unites two people

When I can, I remind him of the world he wants

When he plays he makes me feel like a man

I'd like to talk to you, blind man from the underpass

I would like to stop and ask your forgiveness

For these steps that you cannot see

But if I talked, I would no longer be good

I would like to take you to the top of the skyscraper

And then shout at you: "Here is your city"

You would understand and I would be sorry

The coin falls, I'll be back tomorrow
