The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Quando Ti Scrivo" by Vinicio Capossela.

Lyrics

Sai quando ti scrivo
mi viene una certa nostalgia
e del resto sono sempre
quello stupido romantico
che ancora confonde
il presente col passato
Ma il tempo e' spesso un fatto
che si apprezza sempre dopo
e le vecchie facce son qualcosa
che cambia tra le righe
e io che le rivedo
e ci ripenso
io vorrei ancora,
ancora,
ancora,
ridere cosi' e far l’amore
e bere vino
passar la notte ad aspettare
di avere qualcosa da raccontare
e vedere in un motel o in una strada
un’incomparabile avventura
Ricordi quella frittata
si partiva per New York
e noi artisti sconosciuti
ci trattavamo da signori
e alle cinque di mattina
lei vestita da romana
io vorrei ancora,
ancora,
ancora,
io vorrei ancora,
ancora,
ancora.

Lyrics translation

You know when I write to you
I get a certain nostalgia
and I'm always
that stupid romantic
that still confuses
the present with the past
But time is often a fact
that you always appreciate after
and old faces are something
changing between rows
and I see them again
and I think about it
I would still,
Again,
Again,
laugh like that and make love
and wine beer
spend the night waiting
to have something to tell
and see in a motel or on a street
an incomparable adventure
Remember that omelette
he was leaving for New York.
and we unknown artists
we were gentlemen.
and at five in the morning
she dressed as romana
I would still,
Again,
Again,
I would still,
Again,
Again.
