Original text with translation

Tortuga

Antonello Venditti

Original text

Da bambino ero grasso,

mi prendevano in giro,

i compagni più grandi davanti al Tortuga.

E alle feste di classe,

si ballavano i lenti,

si spegneva la luce sulle mani incoscienti… innocenti.

Io scrivevo e piangevo

e pensavo già a te,

nella camera buia

che luce che c' è.

Il silenzio assoluto

la versione di Greco

che se sbagli una frase non c' è più rimedio.

I tuoi occhi perduti,

quattro banchi più indietro,

io mi sento un vigliacco

mentre tu chiedi aiuto… chiedi aiuto…

E piangevo e scrivevo

e vivevo per te…

E la camera vuota era piena di te…

E il mio tempo passava,

più cattivo di prima,

cominciava in Italia

una guerra assassina… assassina…

Io picchiavo sul piano,

più sicuro di sempre,

una voce gridava

che non ero innocente… innocente…

Io scrivevo e piangevo,

non pensavo più a te,

nella camera vuota che luce che c' è.

Da bambino ero grasso

mi prendevano in giro

i compagni più grandi davanti al Tortuga.

E alle feste di classe,

si ballavano i lenti,

si spegneva la luce sulle mani incoscienti… innocenti…

innocenti… innocenti…innocenti…innocenti…

Song translation

As a child I was fat,

They made fun of me,

the older companions in front of Tortuga.

And at class parties,

slow dances,

the light went out on the unconscious ... innocent hands.

I wrote and cried

and I was already thinking of you,

in the dark room

what a light there is.

Absolute silence

the Greek version

that if you miss a sentence there is no more remedy.

Your lost eyes,

four benches behind,

I feel like a coward

while you ask for help ... ask for help ...

And I cried and wrote

and I lived for you ...

And the empty room was full of you ...

And my time passed,

worse than before,

it began in Italy

a murderous war ... murderous ...

I was beating on the floor,

safer than ever,

a voice shouted

that I was not innocent ... innocent ...

I wrote and cried,

I didn't think about you anymore,

in the empty room what a light there is.

As a child I was fat

They made fun of me

the older companions in front of Tortuga.

And at class parties,

slow dances,

the light went out on unconscious hands ... innocent ...

innocent ... innocent ... innocent ... innocent ...
