Lyrics

Se questi muri sapessero parlare
Anche le strade potrebbero arrossire
Se questa gente avesse la pianura
Chiusa, Genova
Io questa notte ho voglia di cantare
Dalla finestra ti sento anche arrossire
Tanto nessuno ci può ascoltare
Sorda, Genova
Non mi basta un blues
Non mi basta un blues
Per averti un pò di più
Genoa, you are red and blue
Non mi basta un blues
Non mi basta un blues
Per averti un pò di più
Genoa, you are red and blue
Tra questa gente che osserva e si lamenta
Pure Colombo è stato uno fra cento
E adesso in mare veleggia la rumenta
Strana, Genova
Io questa notte ti vorrei parlare
E invece parto per mandarti a dire
Che tu sei bella, si, ma da ricordare
Bella più che mai
Non mi basta un blues
Non mi basta un blues
Per averti un pò di più
Genoa, you are red and blue
Non ci basta un blues
Non ci basta un blues
Per averti un pò di più
Genoa, you are red and blue

Lyrics translation

If these walls could speak
The streets may also blush
If these people had the plain
Closed, Genoa
I want to sing tonight
From the window I also hear you blush
So no one can listen to us
Deaf, Genoa
I don't need a blues
I don't need a blues
To have you a little more
Genoa, you are red and blue
I don't need a blues
I don't need a blues
To have you a little more
Genoa, you are red and blue
Among these people who watch and complain
Even Columbus was one of a hundred
And now the rumenta sails at sea
Strange, Genoa
I want to talk to you tonight.
And instead I'm going to send you to say
That you are beautiful, yes, but to remember
Beautiful more than ever
I don't need a blues
I don't need a blues
To have you a little more
Genoa, you are red and blue
A blues is not enough
A blues is not enough
To have you a little more
Genoa, you are red and blue
