Original text with translation

Figlia

Roberto Vecchioni

Original text

Sapeva tutta la verità

Il vecchio che vendeva carte e numeri

Però tua madre è stata dura da raggiungere

Lo so che senza me non c’era differenza:

Saresti comunque nata

Ti avrebbe comunque avuta

Non c’era fiume quando l’amai;

Non era propriamente ragazza

Però di aver fatto del mio meglio

Così a volte guardo se ti rassomiglio

Lo so, lo so che non è giusto

Però mi serve pure questo

Poi ti diranno che avevi un nonno generale

E che tuo padre era al contrario

Un po' anormale, e allora saprai

Che porti il nome di un mio amico

Di uno dei pochi che non mi hanno mai tradito

Perché sei nata il giorno

Che a lui moriva un sogno

E i sogni, i sogni

I sogni vengono dal mare

Per tutti quelli

Che han sempre scelto di sbagliare

Perché, perché vincere significa «accettare»

Se arrivo vuol dire che

A «qualcuno può servire

E questo, lo dovessi mai fare

Tu, questo, non me lo perdonare

E figlia, figlia

Non voglio che tu sia felice

Ma sempre «contro»

Finché ti lasciano la voce;

Vorranno

La foto col sorriso deficente

Diranno:

«Non ti agitare, che non serve a niente»

E invece tu grida forte

La vita contro la morte

E figlia, figlia

Figlia sei bella come il sole

Come la terra

Come la rabbia, come il pane

E so che t’innamorerari senza pensare

E scusa

Scusa se ci vedremo poco e male:

Lontano mi porta il sogno

Ho un fiore qui dentro il pugno

Song translation

He knew the whole truth

The old man who sold cards and numbers

But your mother was hard to reach

I know that without me there was no difference:

You would have been born anyway

She would still have you

There was no river when I loved it;

She wasn't exactly a girl

But I did my best

So sometimes I look to see if I look like you

I know, I know it's not fair

But I also need this

Then they'll tell you that you had a grandfather general

And that your father was the other way around

A little abnormal, and then you will know

That bears the name of a friend of mine

Of one of the few who have never betrayed me

Because you were born on the day

That a dream was dying to him

And dreams, dreams

Dreams come from the sea

For all of those

Who have always chosen to be wrong

Why, because winning means "accepting"

If I arrive it means that

“Someone can help

And this, should you ever do it

You, this, do not forgive me

And daughter, daughter

I don't want you to be happy

But always "against"

As long as they leave you the voice;

They will want

The photo with the morose smile

They will say:

"Don't get upset, it's useless"

And instead you cry out loud

Life versus death

And daughter, daughter

Daughter you are beautiful as the sun

Like the earth

Like anger, like bread

And I know that you will fall in love without thinking

And sorry

Sorry if we will see each other little and badly:

Far away the dream takes me

I have a flower in my fist here
