Lyrics

Come un Martin, un Martin pescatore,
mi son tuffato dentro al lavandino
che prima avevo riempito con cura,
in modo che l’acqua non trasbordasse…
Stavo un bujoux, fresco e rilassato,
convinto, tra l’altro, di averti ormai scordato
ma m’illudevo perché tutt’a un tratto
in fondo all’acqua ho visto te…
Stavi appoggiata contro il muro,
occhi cattivi avevi tu…
in mano, lucido, un coltello, tenevi alto su di me…
io l’ho scansato per un pelo,
mi son buttato a testa in giù…
mi son salvato grazie al cielo…
fu allora che mi dissi: «Non devi amarla più!»
Ho tolto il tappo dal lavandino
E la tua immagine è scivolata via:
ho corso il rischio di affogare,
scordato avevo di respirare…
Povero piccolo Martin pescatore
Stavi di nuovo per lasciarci le piume…
Adesso vola, che è tutto finito…

Lyrics translation

Like a kingfisher, a kingfisher,
I dived into the sink.
that I had previously filled with care,
so that the water did not overflow…
I was a bujoux, cool and relaxed,
convinced, among other things, that I have now forgotten you
but I was deluding myself because all of a sudden
at the bottom of the water I saw you…
You were leaning against the wall,
bad eyes you had…
in your hand, shiny, a knife, you held high on me…
I've been dragging him for a while.,
I jumped upside down…
I saved myself, thank heaven.…
that's when I said to myself, "You don't have to love her anymore!»
I took the cork out of the sink.
And your image slipped away:
I took the risk of drowning,
I forgot to breathe.…
Poor little Kingfisher
You were about to leave us the feathers again.…
Now it flies, it's all over…
