Vieni a vivere con me [English translation]

I’m coming to live with you,

you know, I fell in love

and life is too short

and we can’t lose any time,

or, perhaps, it’s really time

that can’t lose us.

Come and live with me,

you know how many things we could do.

You could play the piano

while I’m spreading some mayonnaise.

I could spread some of it on your neck

and, while licking you, make Bach tremble.

Against the boredom of TV,

to watch only the ads,

the shows, not those,

those we will make them.

And then, after having taken a bath,

run to the cinema to watch a film.

We could be happy and commit a bunch of sins,

we could be happy and, at times, a bit desperate.

We could tell each other certain things to make the skin get goosebumps,

we could do certain things that they'd shoot us in the back.

We could study a way

to live without having to work,

study the hour to go to the beach,

decide whom to vote for,

go downtown with the bike,

the bike tra-la-le-rooh-la.

And to learn how to dance the tango

that, in life, is always useful,

talk for an hour about what colour

to repaint the ceiling

and then, in silence, lower the eyes

looking for new angles to kiss.

We could be happy and commit a bunch of sins,

we could be happy and, at times, a bit desperate.

We could tell each other certain things to make the skin get goosebumps,

we could do certain things that they'd shoot us in the back.
