TUTTA MIA LA CITTA - Giuliano Palma & The Bluebeaters

 

Song lyrics in Italian

No, non verrai.
L'orologio nella strada ormai
Corre troppo per noi.
So dove sei.
Tu non stai correndo qui da me.
Sei rimasta con lui.

Le luci bianche nella notte
Sembrano accese per me.
È tutta mia la città.

Tutta mia la città.
Un deserto che conosco.
Tutta mia la città.
Questa notte un uomo piangerà.

No, non verrai.
Fumo un'altra sigaretta e poi
Me ne andrò senza te.
Porto con me
Un'immagine che non vedrò.
Tu che corri da me.

Da un'automobile che passa
Qualcuno grida 'Va a casa'.
È tutta mia la città.

Tutta mia la città.
Un deserto che conosco.
Tutta mia la città.
Questa notte un uomo piangerà.

Tu non ci sei.
Io mi sono rassegnato ormai.
Non eri per me.
Tu sei con lui.
Cosa importa? Io non soffro più.
Forse è meglio così.

Tutta mia la città.
Un deserto che conosco.
Tutta mia la città.
Questa notte un uomo piangerà.

English Translation

No, you won't come.
The clock on the street by now
Runs too fast for us.
I know where you are.
You're not running here to me.
You stayed with him.

The white lights in the night
Seem to be lit for me.
The city is all mine.

The city is all mine.
A desert I know.
The city is all mine.
Tonight a man will cry.

No, you won't come.
I smoke another cigarette and then
I'll leave without you.
I carry with me
An image that I won't see.
You running to me.

From a passing car
Someone shouts 'Go home'.
The city is all mine.

The city is all mine.
A desert I know.
The city is all mine.
Tonight a man will cry.

You're no here.
I've resigned myself by now.
You were not for me.
You are with him.
What does it matter? I no longer suffer.
Maybe it's better this way.

The city is all mine.
A desert I know.
The city is all mine.
Tonight a man will cry.
