Lyrics " Dolce luna "

Original text with translation

Dolce luna

Fabrizio De André

Original text

Cammina come un vecchio marinaio

non ha più un posto dove andare

la terra sotto i piedi non lo aspetta

strano modo di ballare

sua moglie ha un altro uomo e un’altra donna, è proprio un uomo da buttare

e nelle tasche gli è rimasta solo un po' di polvere di mare

e non può testimoniare.

Si muove sopra i sassi

come un leone invernale

ti può parlare ore ed ore

della sua quarta guerra mondiale

conserva la sua cena dentro a un foglio di giornale

la sua ragazza «esca dalle lunghe gambe"fa all’amore niente male

e non può testimoniare.

Lui vide il marinaio indiano

alzarsi in piedi e barcollare

con un coltello nella schiena

tra la schiuma e la stella polare

e il timoniere di Shanghai tornò tranquillo a pilotare

e lui lo vide con l’anello al dito e un altro anello da rubare

ma non può testimoniare.

Dal buio delle tango notti «Balla Linda»

alla paralisi di un porto,

la luce delle stelle chiare

come un rifugio capovolto,

la sua balena «Dolce Luna"che lo aspettata in alto mare,

gli ha detto molte volte «Amore, con chi mi vuoi dimenticare «e non può testimoniare

e non può testimoniare.

E tu mi vieni a dire voglio un figlio

su cui potermi regolare

con due occhi qualunque e il terzo occhio inconfondibile e speciale

che non ti importa niente

se non riuscirà a nuotare

l’importante è che abbia sulla guancia destra

quella mia voglia di mare

e mi dici ancora che il mio nome

glielo devo proprio dare

ma non so testimoniare

io non so testimoniare.

Song translation

Walk like an old sailor

he has nowhere to go

the earth beneath his feet does not wait for him

strange way of dancing

his wife has another man and another woman, he is really a man to throw away

and he has only a little sea dust left in his pockets

and he can't testify.

He moves over the stones

like a winter lion

he can talk to you for hours and hours

of its Fourth World War

he keeps his dinner inside a sheet of newspaper

his girlfriend of him "come out with long legs" makes love not bad

and he can't testify.

He saw the Indian sailor

stand up and stagger

with a knife in the back

between the foam and the North Star

and the Shanghai helmsman returned calmly to pilot

and he saw him with the ring on his finger and another ring to steal

but he can't testify.

From the darkness of the tango nights "Balla Linda"

to the paralysis of a port,

the light of the clear stars

like an upside-down shelter,

his "Sweet Moon" whale that waited for him on the high seas,

he has told him many times «Love, with whom you want to forget me» and he cannot testify

and he can't testify.

And you come and tell me I want a child

on which I can adjust

with any two eyes and the unmistakable and special third eye

that you don't care

if he can't swim

the important thing is that he has on his right cheek

my desire for the sea

and you still tell me my name

I really have to give it to him

but I don't know how to testify

I don't know how to testify.
