The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Tempo Sprecato" by Edoardo Bennato.

Lyrics

Anche ammesso e non concesso
che facessi i salti mortali per te,
so che tempo sprecato.
Anche se io mi facessi in quattro,
anche se ti accontantassi in tutto,
so che tempo sprecato…
Le conosco troppo bene quelle
che con la scusa di esser brave figlie
sanno solo farsi servire,
hanno fatto la scuola, come farsi pregare…

Lyrics translation

Whether or not allowed
that I did the somersaults for you,
I know what a waste of time.
Even if I had a foursome,
even if you settle for everything,
I know what wasted time…
I know those too well.
that with the excuse of being good daughters
they only know how to get served,
they went to school, how to get prayed…
