“Parla Con Me” by Eros Ramazzotti
Memories of my trip to Florence in 2009. This was the lead single from Ramazzotti's brand-new album at the time, and it absolutely saturated the airwaves over there. I suppose if I was Italian, I would've quickly grown sick of it, but it was something novel and I didn’t mind it at all. Besides, it’s pretty catchy! :)
(Lyrics and rough translation below)
Ma dove guardano ormai
Quegli occhi spenti che hai?
Cos'è quel buio che li attraversa?
Hai tutta l'aria di chi
Da un po' di tempo oramai
Ha dato la sua anima per dispersa
Non si uccide un dolore
Anestetizzando il cuore
C'è una cosa che invece puoi fare
Se vuoi, se vuoi, se vuoi
Parla con me
Parlami di te
Io ti ascolterò
Vorrei capire di più
Quel malessere dentro che hai tu
Parla con me
Tu provaci almeno un po'
Non ti giudicherò
Perché una colpa se c'è
Non si può dare solo a te
Parla con me
Col mondo messo com'è
Anche il futuro per te
Lo vedi come un mare in burrasca
Ti fa paura lo so
Io non ci credo però
Che almeno un sogno tu non l'abbia in tasca
Ma perché quel pianto asciutto?
Non tenerti dentro tutto
C'è una cosa che invece puoi fare
Se vuoi, se vuoi, se vuoi
Parla con me
Parlami di te
Io ti ascolterò
Vorrei capire di più
Quel malessere dentro che hai tu
Parla con me
Tu dimmi che cosa c'è
Io ti risponderò
Se vuoi guarire però
Prova un po' a innamorarti di te
Non negarti la bellezza di scoprire
Quanti amori coltivati puoi far fiorire
Sempre se tu vuoi
Parla con me
Parlami di te
Io ti ascolterò
Vorrei capire di più
Quel malessere dentro che hai tu
Parla con me
Tu dimmi che cosa c'è
Io ti risponderò
Se vuoi guarire però
Prova un po' a innamorarti di te
Parla con me, eh
Parla con me, eh, yeah
Parla con me
Tu dimmi che cosa c'è
Io ti risponderò
Se vuoi guarire però
Prova un po' a innamorarti di te
(I only have a very basic understanding of Italian (I can usually suss out the meaning of a word by comparing it to Spanish by its Latin roots), so I used Google Translate, then tried to "localize" it a bit, meaning... it isn't great, but I think it gets the point across)
But where do they look now
Those dead eyes you have?
What is the darkness that crosses them?
You look like someone who has
For a while now
Given up their soul for lost
You don't kill the pain
By anesthetizing the heart
There's something you can do instead
If you want, if you want, if you want
Talk to me
Tell me about yourself
I will listen
I would like to understand more
About that uneasiness you have inside
Talk to me
Try at least a little
I won't judge you
Because what fault there is
Isn't only yours
Talk to me
With the world as it is
And the future for you, too
You see it as a stormy sea
It scares you, I know
I don't believe, though
That you don't have at least one dream in your pocket
But why the dry tears?*
Don't keep it all inside
There's something you can do instead
If you want, if you want, if you want
Talk to me
Tell me about yourself
I will listen
I would like to understand more
About that uneasiness you have inside
Talk to me
Tell me what it is
I will respond
If you want to heal, though
Try to fall in love with yourself a little
Don't deny yourself the beauty of discovering
How many cultivated loves you can make bloom
Always if you want
Talk to me
Tell me about yourself
I will listen
I would like to understand more
About that uneasiness you have inside
Talk to me
Tell me what it is
I will respond
If you want to heal, though
Try to fall in love with yourself a little
Talk to me, eh
Talk to me, yeah
Talk to me
Tell me what it is
I will respond
If you want to heal, though
Try to fall in love with yourself a little
*holding in tears, trying to be stoic; I'm not sure how to better translate it while keeping some of the rhythm of the lyrics.
