Rap Serenade
If I meet you in the street, I can't talk to you
Words get stuck and I can't look at you
in my eyes it feels like going crazy
If I could amplify
the beat of my heart you could hear
a drummer of a heavy metal band
and that's why I'm here in front of you
'cause maybe it's more easy to sing you a song
maybe so loud that walls and people can hear it
rather than phoning you and tell you everything face to face
risking a bad impression
I'm shy, but love makes me brave
to tell you that since I saw you, to me it's always May
and in May the world is wonderful and full of colours
yet on trees there are only flowers
that now or then, they say, they will become even fruits
so what do you do? you greedily wait,
you wait for that wish to be shared
I'm here before you asking you a smile,
appear at the window honey, appear at the window, answer the entryphone
I came here with a record-player and with a microphone
with my band to sing you my feelings
and if you'll want to kiss me, I'll be happy
this serenade is my dare with destiny
I'd like to have you close for the rest of my life
a rap serenade to tell you that...
I like how you look at me, I like how you are with me
I like your nose, it matches with the world
I like your arse, it looks so round
that it makes every living being a satellite
I like you because you're clever
you can see it from your hands, from how you move them
you cause always new thoughts and feelings in me
I see the Alps in your hips, the Dolomites in your breasts
I like your taste in choosing clothes
the fact you're beyond mainstream fashions,
you're a flower grown in the asphalt and cement
appear at the window honey,
appear at the window
appear at the window...
Since tonight I'll be the one for you
Rap serenade, metropolitan serenade
be my lover, I won't be a son of a bitch
don't believe the things they say about me
they are all a bit jealous, who knows why
I'm not promising you stories of passion like those in the movies
or novels, or what, a song
I'm offering you truth, body, soul and brain
Love, just love, only only that
appear at the window my love,
appear at the window my love,
appear at the window my love...
Since tonight I'll be the one for you
"Amor ch'a nullo amato amar perdona", damn [1]
I'll write it on the walls and in subways
millions of inhabitants of this city
that day by day, ignoring each other, thay carry on
and then who knows why, who knows why
for how nobody knows why, who knows why they don't know
how two glances make a destiny in a moment
buildings, asphalt, smog become a garden
people consacred by the exchange of a ring
and a one-room apartment will become a castle,
appear to the window my love...

About translator
[1] "Amor ch'a nullo amato amar perdona" is a popular quote from Dante Alighieri's Inferno ("Love, that releases no beloved from loving").
Also: this is supposed to be a very naive song, so don't be surprised for "I like your arse, it looks so round / that it makes every living being a satellite"!
