Gioco d'azzardo - Paolo Conte

Cera fra noi un gioco dazzardo

ma miente ormai nel lungo sguardo

spiega qualcosa,

forse soltano

certe parole sembrano pianto,

sono salate, sonno di mare

chiss, tra noi, si trattava damore

Ma non parlo di te, io parlo daltro

il gioco era miio, lucido e scaltro

Io parlo di me, di me che ho goduto

di me che ho amato

e che ho perduto

E trovo niente da dire o da fare

Per tra noi si trattava damore

Cera fra noi un giocco dazzardo,

giocco di vita, duro e bugiardo

Perch volersi e desiderarsi

facente finta di essere persi

Adesso tardi e dico soltanto

che si trattava damore, e non sai quanto

There was a game of chance between us

but I am now in the long gaze

explain something,

maybe only

some words seem like tears,

they are salty, sea sleep

who knows, between us, it was love

But I'm not talking about you, I'm talking on the other side

the game was fine, lucid and shrewd

I speak of me, of me that I have enjoyed

of me that I loved

and that I have lost

And I find nothing to say or do

For us it was love

There was a game of chance between us,

game of life, hard and liar

Because wanting and desiring oneself

pretending to be lost

Late now and I'm just saying

that it was love, and you don't know how much
