Paolo Conte — Incontro song lyrics and translation
The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Incontro" by Paolo Conte.
Lyrics
Io, ingannato dal sole, ti ho intravista per strada,
prima, ho creduto che tu, fossi un gatto d’estate
che vaga e insegue un romanzo suo.
La scena, intoccabile tua, l’ho guardata rapito
Io, incatenato e perduto
Con le mie mani piene di luce, cercavo l’ombra,
schermavo gli occhi per ammirarti come in segreto sì, era così
Io con l’amore sul viso, dall’amore deriso,
si, io incatenato e perduto, nel sorriso mai nato, in me sulla labbra per te, perché…
Io, incatenato e perduto

Lyrics translation
I, deceived by the sun, saw you on the street,
before, I thought you were a summer cat.
who wanders and pursues a novel of his own.
The scene, untouchable yours, I watched it kidnapped
I, chained and lost
With my hands full of light, I sought the shadow,
I used to shield my eyes to admire you how secretly yes, it was so
Me with love on the face, from Love mocked,
yes, I chained and lost, in the never-born smile, in me on the lips for you, because…
I, chained and lost
