La Fata - Edoardo Bennato

E tu ti muovi con pazienza

La medicina e' amara ma

Tu gia' lo sai che la berrai.

Se non si arrende tu lo tenti

E sciogli il nodo dei tuoi fianchi

Che quel vestito scopre gia'

Chi coglie il fiore impazzira'.

E forse e' per vendetta, e forse e' per paura

O solo per pazzia, ma da sempre

Tu sei quella che paga di piu'

Se vuoi volare ti tirano giu'

E se comincia la caccia alle streghe

La strega sei tu.

E insegui sogni da bambino

E chiedi amore e sei sincera

Non fai magie, ne' trucchi, ma

Nessuno ormai ci credera'.

C’e' chi ti urla che sei bella,

Che sei una fata, sei una stella,

Poi ti fa schiava, pero' no,

Chiamarlo amore non si puo'.

C’e' chi ti esalta, chi ti adora,

C’e' chi ti espone anche in vetrina

Si dice amore, pero' no,

Chiamarlo amore non si puo'.

And you move with patience

The medicine is bitter but

You already know you're going to drink it.

If he doesn't give up, you try him

And untie the knot of your hips

That dress already discovers

Whoever picks the flower will go crazy.

And maybe it's out of revenge, and maybe it's out of fear

Or just out of madness, but always

You are the one who pays the most

If you want to fly they pull you down

And if the witch hunt begins

You are the witch.

And chase childhood dreams

And you ask for love and you are sincere

You do not do magic, nor tricks, but

Nobody will believe it now.

There are those who yell at you that you are beautiful,

That you are a fairy, you are a star,

Then she makes you a slave, but no,

You can't call it love.

There are those who exalt you, those who adore you,

There are those who also exhibit you in the shop window

It says love, but no,

You can't call it love.
