Original Lyrics
Translation in Italian
verse
Unsentimental
Insensibile
Driving around
Faccio un giro in auto
Sure of myself
Sicuro di me
Sure of it now
Sicuro, adesso
But you were standing there so close to me
Ma tu stavi li vicinissima a me
Like the future was suppose to be
Come il futuro avrebbe dovuto essere
In the aisles of the Grocery
Nelle corsie del supermercato
In the blocks uptown
Negli isolati dei quartieri alti
verse
I remember
Mi ricordo
Remember well
Mi ricordo bene
But if I forgotten
Ma se non mi ricordassi
Could you tell?
Te ne accorgeresti?
chorus
In the shadow of your first attack
Nell'ombra del tuo primo attacco
I was questioning and looking back
Dubitavo e mi guardavo indietro
You said 'baby we don't speak of that'
Ti hai detto : "Baby, non parliamo di quello"
Like a real aristocrat
Come una vera aristocratica
verse
Compound to compound
Composto per conciliare
Lazy and safe
Pigro e al sicuro
Wanting to leave it
Aspettando di andare via
Wanting to wait
Aspettando di aspettare
When the taxi door was open wide
Quando la portiera del taxi si aprì
I pretended I was horrified
Finsi di essere inorridito
By the uniform clothes outside
Dalle divise che vedevo di fuori
Of the court yard gate
Dal cancello del cortile
verse
You're not a victim
Non sei una vittima
But neither am I
Ma non lo sono nemmeno io
Nostalgic for garbage
Nostalgico di spazzatura
Desperate for time
Disperato per il tempo
I could blame it on your mother's head
Potrei giurare sulla testa di tua madre
Or the colors that you father wears
O sui colori che tuo padre indossa
But I know that I was never fair
Ma so che non sono mai stato onesto
You were always fine
Tu stavi sempre bene
chorus
Unsentimental
Insensibile
Driving around
Faccio un giro in auto
Sure of myself
Sicuro di me
Sure of it now
Sicuro, adesso
You were standing this close to me
Tu stavi vicinissima a me
Like the future was suppose to be
Come il futuro avrebbe dovuto essere
In the aisles of the Grocery
Nelle corsie del supermercato
In the blocks uptown
Negli isolati dei quartieri alti
chorus
I remember
Mi ricordo
Remember it well
Me lo ricordo bene
But if I forgotten
Ma se non mi ricordassi
Would you tell
Te ne accorgeresti
In the shadow of your first attack
Nell'ombra del tuo primo attacco
I was questioning and looking back
Dubitavo e mi guardavo indietro
You were standing on another track
Tu stavi in piedi su un altro binario
Like a real aristocrat
Come una vera aristocratica
