Jovanotti - Chissà se stai dormendo (English translation)

English

Translation

Chissa se stai dormendo

You're 18 years old and that air of a woman doesn't suit you well

and don't believe them when people tell you you're special

compliments don't cost much and sometimes they aren't worth more

what you are, where you go, what you want, only you know

and don't put on that makeup that doesn't suit you well

I like you because you're sweet when you're normal

when you stop acting like a model

and you cover my face with kisses and you caress my skin

when you tell me to turn off the light 'cause you're ashamed

when you're there with your voice trembling and it seems like a dream to me

I see you written on all of the walls, every song talks to me about you

and this night, this city seems very beautiful to me

I see you written on all of the walls, every song talks to me about you

and this night, this city seems very beautiful to me

who knows if you're sleeping

you came of age today and what has changed

the fact that now you can sign the excuse notes when you skip classes

but at school, that one without grades (reffering to the school of life I guess), doesn't help you at all

because from today on you have to pay attention to all these people

who fill your head with things, faces and stories (myths)

that you won't really know what's the use of

so, little girl, don't believe in anything else but love

e questa notte questa citta mi sembra bellissima

who knows if you're sleeping, what are you thinking of

a quanto e bello quando il sentimento

perche tanto non l'hai mai fatto come l'hai fatto con me

questa notte questa citta mi sembra bellissima

chissa se stai dormendo chissa se stai dormendo.
