The Italian
It's me, it's the Italian Is there anyone? Is there any woman? From here I can hear the dog And if you're not dead Let me in without grudge I'm coming home a little late, I know 18 years late, that's true But I've found my matches In a street of Massachusetts! It's a journey full of rigours For a boy in my age Let me in, open the door I really can't any longer If you're here, let me in You don't know how it was over there I'm coming back home I've worked as everything: As thief, tightrope walker, Marshal-of-Lodgings1 Actor, poacher, Emperor and pianist, I've known other women, true but I play really poorly the draughts2, you know... At the time when I was a gold digger They3 took me everything, I'm still crying on it Time passed by over that When my back was turned Let me in, open the door I really can't any longer If you're here, let me in You don't know how it was over there It's me, it's the Italian I'm back from very far away4 The road was poor And, after so many years, After so many heartaches I'm dreaming of a chair Open the door, you're here, I know it I'm so weary, you know I no longer have any luck but one: That you haven't got your chance yet But it's no longer the same dog And someone turned off the light Let me in, someone open a door5 I really can't any longer If there's someone here, let me in I'll tell how it was over there
L'Italien
L'ITALIEN C'est moi, c'est l'Italien Est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'un Est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'une D'ici j'entends le chien Et si tu n'es pas morte Ouvre-moi sans rancune Je rentre un peu tard je sais 18 ans de retard c'est vrai Mais j'ai trouvé mes allumettes Dans une rue du Massachussetts Il est fatiguant le voyage Pour un enfant de mon âge Ouvre-moi, ouvre-moi la porte Io non ne posso proprio più Se ci sei, aprimi la porta Non sai come è stato laggiù Je reviens au logis J'ai fais tous les métiers Voleur, équilibriste Maréchal des logis Comédien, braconnier Empereur et pianiste J'ai connu des femmes, oui mais Je joue bien mal aux dames, tu sais Du temps que j'étais chercheur d'or Elles m'ont tout pris, j'en pleure encore Là-dessus le temps est passé Quand j'avais le dos tourné Ouvre-moi, ouvre-moi la porte Io non ne posso proprio più Se ci sei, aprimi la porta Diro come è stato laggiù C'est moi, c'est l'Italien Je reviens de si loin La route était mauvaise Et tant d'années après Tant de chagrins après Je rêve d'une chaise Ouvre, tu es là, je sais Je suis tellement las, tu sais Il ne me reste qu'une chance C'est que tu n'aies pas eu ta chance Mais ce n'est plus le même chien Et la lumière s'éteint Ouvrez-moi, ouvrez une porte Io non ne posso proprio più Se ci siete, aprite una porta Diro come è stato laggiù Ouvrez-moi, ouvrez une porte Io non ne posso proprio più Se ci siete, aprite una porta Diro come è stato laggiù
