Lyrics

Flamingo, Flamingo…
da quanto tempo sono qui…
Flamingo, Flamingo
perch? ci guardano cos…
coi tuoi santi da juke-box
freschi di lavanderia…
ma? la rumba d’altri film
che ci fa volare via…
e le foto senza flash
fra le braccia del via vai…
e quei ritmi di bayon
che sbagliare mi fai
Flamingo, Flamingo…
ma questo posto che cos'?
Flamingo, Flamingo
che tutti parlano da s?
se io non fossi qui
e tu non fossi tu…
sarebbe un’altra vita…
con tante vie d’uscita…
degli anni fuori sync
c'? solo il de-ja-v?
un altro margarita
e un po' di sale in pi…
Flamingo, Flamingo…
c'? troppa luce in questo bar…
Flamingo, Flamingo
la gente se ne accorger…
Flamingo, Flamingo…
con quegli zombie che ci fai
Flamingo, Flamingo…
quelli ci mangiano, lo sai…
se c'? una stella in pi…
se c'? una stella in pi…
vorrei che fosse mia…
vorrei che fosse mia…
la vedi la citt?
che luccica laggi…
l’amavo alla follia
ma adesso chi lo sa…
Flamingo, Flamingo
perch? non guardi dove vai…
Flamingo, Flamingo
ma non lo vedi come fai…
la chitarra suona un riff
pieno di malinconia
ma? la pioggia d’altri film
che ci sta portando via…
no, che il mio cuore non? qui
fra l’inferno e la routine
c'? rimasta l’allegria…
no, che toccarla non si pu?
quella luna rosso shock
che dormire non ci fa…
Flamingo, Flamingo…
da quanto tempo sono qui…
Flamingo, Flamingo
perch? ci guardano cos…

Lyrics translation

Flamingo, Flamingo…
how long have I been here…
Flamingo, Flamingo
perch? they look at us like this.…
with your jukebox Saints
fresh laundry…
ma? the rumba of other films
that makes us fly away…
and photos without flash
in the arms of the go…
and those Bayon rhythms
what mistake you make me
Flamingo, Flamingo…
but this place what?
Flamingo, Flamingo
that everyone speaks from s?
if I wasn't here
and you weren't you…
it would be another life…
with so many ways out…
years off sync
c'? just the de-ja-v?
another margarita
and a little salt in pi…
Flamingo, Flamingo…
c'? too much light in this bar…
Flamingo, Flamingo
people realize it…
Flamingo, Flamingo…
with those zombies you do
Flamingo, Flamingo…
they eat us, you know.…
if there? a star in pi…
if there? a star in pi…
I wish it was mine.…
I wish it was mine.…
you see the city?
that glitters over there…
I loved her madly.
but now who knows…
Flamingo, Flamingo
perch? you don't look where you're going…
Flamingo, Flamingo
but you don't see it like you do…
the guitar plays a riff
full of melancholy
ma? the rain of other movies
that's taking us away…
no, that my heart does not? here
between hell and routine
c'? remained the cheerfulness…
no, you can't touch it?
that red moon shock
what sleep does not do us…
Flamingo, Flamingo…
how long have I been here…
Flamingo, Flamingo
perch? they look at us like this.…
