Lyrics
La falena
La luce era per lei, la grande falena,
e lui l’adora sempre in fondo alla scena,
lui il piccolo sardo lontano dalle stelle,
con un reso di mare ancora sulla pelle.
Per lei la grande artista, se artista vuol dire,
ballare bianca e nuda per far divertire,
regina di sogni, di voglie e di botte,
in quel piccolo buio in fondo alla notte.
Poi una storia inutile, di rabbia e gelosia,
di nessuno sarai, se non sarai piu' mia;
una nottata di coltello ed e' finita,
e l’ha portata via senza la vita.
E lui e' partito in fretta, e lei era in cielo,
e va' cercando nei night club del paradiso,
sui grandi manifesti che portano il suo viso,
la sua regina delle notti bianche,
la sua falena dalle ali stanche,
la luce era per lei, la grande falena.
Lyrics translation
Moth
The light was for her, the great moth,
and he always adores her at the back of the scene,
he the little Sardinian far from the stars,
with a sea rendering still on the skin.
For her the great artist, if Artist means,
dancing white and naked for fun,
Queen Of Dreams, cravings and beatings,
in that little darkness at the end of the night.
Then a useless story, of anger and jealousy,
you'll be nobody's if you're no longer mine;
one night of a knife and it's over,
and he took her away without her life.
And he left in a hurry, and she was in heaven,
and go search the night clubs of paradise,
on the big posters that carry her face,
his queen of the White Nights,
its weary-winged moth,
the light was for her, the great moth.
