The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Storia E Leggenda Del Lanciatore" by Roberto Vecchioni.
Lyrics
Mio nonno li lanciava sempre spalle al bersaglio,
Senza voltarsi mai, senza il minimo sbaglio:
E io stavo a guardarlo innamorato perso sulla riva del fiume,
Seguendo I suoi coltelli volare leggeri come piume…
E mio padre m’insegn? A lanciarli ad occhi chiusi,
Perch? Si mira con il cuore,
Perch? Un vero lanciatore di coltelli ricama la vita,
Non tira mica per colpire
Lyrics translation
My grandfather always threw them behind the target.,
Without ever turning around, without the slightest mistake:
And I was watching him fall in love lost on the Bank of the river,
Following his knives flying light as feathers…
And my father taught me? To throw them with their eyes closed,
Perch? You aim with your heart,
Perch? A real knife thrower embroider life,
He doesn't shoot to hit.
