Charles Aznavour — Devi sapere song lyrics and translation
The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Devi sapere" by Charles Aznavour.
Lyrics
Devi sapere ancor sorridere
quando il bel tempo se ne va
e resta solo la tristezza
e giorni d’infelicità.
Devi sapere
che in quest’angoscia
la dignità devi salvar
malgrado il male che tu senti
devi partir senza tornar;
preghi il destino che ti disarma
per pietà non mi far morir.
Devi sapere celare il pianto
ma il mondo è nato per soffrir.
Devi sapere lasciar la tavola
quando all’amor non servi più
alzarti con indifferenza
mentre in silenzio soffri tu.
Devi sapere celar le pene
e mascherare il tuo dolor;
tenere l’odio in te nascosto
e aver l’inferno in fondo al cuor.
Devi sapere restar di ghiaccio
pur se il tuo cuor brucia di rancor,
Devi sapere lasciar la vita
ma l’amo troppo ancor
e dirle addio non so devi saper… però…
io non lo so!
(Grazie a Luigi per questo testo)
Lyrics translation
You need to know how to smile again
when the weather is gone
and there remains only sadness
and days of unhappiness.
You need to know
that in this anguish
dignity you must save
despite the evil you feel
you must leave without returning;
pray the fate that disarms you
please don't make me die.
You must know how to hide the cry
but the world was born to suffer.
You need to know how to leave the table
when love no longer serves you
stand up with indifference
while in silence you suffer.
You need to know how to hide the penalties
and disguise your pain;
keep hatred in you hidden
and have hell at the bottom of your heart.
You need to know how to stay on ice
though your heart burns with rancor,
You have to know how to leave life
but I still love her too much
and say goodbye to her I don't know you have to know ... …
I don't know!
