The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Sapessi dove sei" by Gigi D'Alessio.

Lyrics

C’era una signora che vendeva rose.
ferma ad un portone in via del Corso 3
Aspettava sempre tra i negozi chiusi
conosceva noi
sorrideva e poi
la più rossa la donava a te… sempre
Forse solo se non c’eri, se non esistevi o se fossi nata solamente ieri…
non chiedevo amore, quello stesso amore con il suo calore
specie in quelle sere quando un freddo cane gela tutta questa città.
Forse solo se non c’eri non avrei vissuto con quell’ansia pari a un calcio di rigore
non avrei girato come un disperato che non ha più fiato
non avrei saputo non avrei gridato tutto questo non l’avrei mai fatto e ancora
lo farei sapessi dove sei.
sono giorni in più. persi senza te pioggia e solitudine per me stasera
Forse solo se non c’eri se non esistevi o se fossi nata solamente ieri
non chiedevo amore quello stesso amore con il suo calore non avrei saputo,
non avrei gridato tutto questo non l’avrei mai fatto e ancora lo farei
sapessi dove…
forse solo se non c’eri non avrei vissuto con quell’ansia pari a un calcio di rigore non avrei girato come un disperato che non ha più fiato
non avrei saputo, non avrei gridato
tutto questo non l’avrei mai fatto e ancora lo farei sapessi dove sei
non avrei sognato, non avrei saputo non avrei gridato.
non avrei capito non sarei cambiato
tutto questo non l’avrei mai fatto e ancora lo farei.
sapessi dove sei!
(Grazie a Nina per questo testo)

Lyrics translation

There was a lady selling roses.
stop at a gate in Via del Corso 3
He was always waiting in the closed shops
he knew us.
she smiled and then
the reddest gave it to you... always
Maybe only if you weren't there, if you didn't exist, or if you were only born yesterday.…
I didn't ask for love, that same love with its warmth
especially those nights when a cold dog freezes this whole town.
Maybe if you weren't there, I wouldn't have lived with that anxiety of a penalty kick.
I wouldn't have turned around like a desperate man who's out of breath.
I would not have known I would not shout all this I would never have done and yet
I would know where you are.
it's extra days. Lost Without You rain and loneliness for me tonight
Maybe only if you weren't there, if you didn't exist, or if you were only born yesterday.
I didn't ask for love that same love with its warmth I wouldn't have known,
I wouldn't scream all this I never would and still would
I knew where…
maybe only if you were not there I would not have lived with that anxiety equal to a penalty kick I would not have turned like a desperate who has no breath
I wouldn't have known, I wouldn't have cried
all this I would never have done and I would still know where you are
I wouldn't dream, I wouldn't know I wouldn't scream.
I wouldn't have understood I wouldn't have changed
I never would have done this, and I still would.
I knew where you were!
