Lyrics

Diciotto anni ed era lì, col volto ancora da bambino, eppure uomo.
Con l’estate mi incendiò ed io, guardandolo, contai i miei autunni.
Ho meso agli occhi un pò di blu ed i capelli un pò piu giù.
L’ha divertito.
Quando è venuto incontro a me, avrei pagato non so che per conquistarlo.
Diciotto anni e stava lì, erà già tutto nell’età la sua vittoria
Perché parlare mai d’amore? Diceva che parlar d’amore e vecchia storia.
M’ha detto «ho voglia di te», il suo respiro su di me aveva fretta.
Un letto improvisato e poi, tra le sue braccie mi s’offrì
Un cielo immenso.
Coi diciotto anni stava lì, che lo rendeva insolente di sicurezza
E si erà appena rivestito, che io sconfita ritrovai la mia tristezza.
Volevo dirgli «resta quà"ma per fermarlo, non tentai neppure un gesto.
M’ha detto «mica male sai"con il candor senza pietà dell’inconscenza.
Ho meso agli occhi un pò di blu ed i capelli un pò più su
Come ogni giorno.
Mi ero scordata per un pò di aver due volte diciotto anni.

Lyrics translation

Eighteen years old and he was there, with his face still as a child, yet a man.
With the summer it set me on fire, and I, looking at it, counted my autumns.
I have meso in my eyes a little blue and my hair a little lower.
He enjoyed it.
When he came to meet me, I would have paid something to conquer him.
Eighteen years old and stood there, it was already all in age his victory
Why ever talk about love? He said talk about love and old story.
He said "I want you", his breath on me was in a hurry.
A makeshift bed and then, in his arms offered me
An immense sky.
At eighteen he stood there, which made him insolent of security
And he had just put on, that I defeated my sadness again.
I wanted to say, "stay here," but to stop him, I didn't even attempt a gesture.
He called me "you don't know"with the merciless candor of unconsciousness.
I have meso eyes a little blue and hair a little higher
Like every day.
I forgot for a while that I was twice eighteen.
