Original Lyrics
Translation in Italian

verse

If I told you things I did before, told you how I used to be
Se ti raccontassi cose che ho fatto prima, ti raccontassi com'era
Would you go along with someone like me?
Andresti d'accordo con qualcuno come me?
If you knew my story word for word, had all of my history
Se conoscessi la mia storia parola per parola, sapessi la mia storia completa
Would you go along with someone like me?
Andresti d'accordo con qualcuno come me?
I did before and had my share, it didn′t lead nowhere
L'ho già fatto prima e ho avuto la mia parte, non ha portato da nessuna parte
I would go along with someone like you
Andrei d'accordo con qualcuno come te
It doesn't matter what you did, who you were hanging with
Non importa cos'hai fatto, con chi uscivi
We could stick around and see this night through
Potremmo stare insieme e vedere insieme questa notte

chorus

And we don′t care about the young folks
E non c'importa dei tipi giovani
Talking 'bout the young style
Che parlano dello stile giovane
And we don't care about the old folks
E non c'importa neanche dei tipi vecchi
Talking ′bout the old style too
Che parlano del vecchio stile
And we don′t care about our own folks
E non c'importa delle nostre colpe
Talking 'bout our own style
Che parlano del nostro stile
All we care ′bout is talking
C'importa solo di parlare
Talking only me and you
Parlare solo io e te

verse

Usually when things has gone this far people tend to disappear
Di solito quando le cose vanno così avanti le persone tendono a scomparire
No one will surprise me unless you do
Nessuno mi sorprenderà a meno che tu non lo faccia
I can tell there's something goin′ on, hours seems to disappear
Riesco a capire che sta succedendo qualcosa, le ore sembrano svanire
Everyone is leaving, I'm still with you
Tutti se ne stanno andando, io sono ancora con te
It doesn′t matter what we do, where we are going to
Non importa cosa facciamo, dove stiamo andando
We can stick around and see this night through
Possiamo stare insieme e vedere questa notte

chorus

And we don't care about the young folks
E non c'importa dei tipi giovani
Talking 'bout the young style
Che parlano dello stile giovane
And we don′t care about the old folks
E non c'importa neanche dei tipi vecchi
Talking ′bout the old style too
Che parlano del vecchio stile
And we don't care about our own folks
E non c'importa delle nostre colpe
Talking ′bout our own style
Che parlano del nostro stile
All we care 'bout is talking
C'importa solo di parlare
Talking only me and you
Parlare solo io e te
And we don′t care about the young folks
E non c'importa dei tipi giovani
Talking 'bout the young style
Che parlano dello stile giovane
And we don′t care about the old folks
E non c'importa neanche dei tipi vecchi
Talking 'bout the old style too
Che parlano del vecchio stile
And we don't care about our own folks
E non c'importa delle nostre colpe
Talking ′bout our own style
Che parlano del nostro stile
All we care ′bout is talking
C'importa solo di parlare
Talking only me and you
Parlare solo io e te
Talking only me and you
Parlare solo io e te

outro

Talking only me and you
Parlare solo io e te
Talking only me and you
Parlare solo io e te
