Voglio andare a vivere in campagna [English translation]

I want to go and live at the countryside

I want the dew that soaks me

but I live here in the city, and I don't like it anymore

in this terrible traffic

loneliness attacks you and knocks you down

how beautiful my youth was!

I want to go back to the countryside

I want to h o e the land and chop wood

but I live here in the city, what a hasty tribe

we can't communicate anymore

here we can't breathe anymore, the sky is not blue anymore

and I'm not having fun anymore.

At my countryside people dance, they dance, they dance

in this sort of gipsy night of full moon

at my countryside there's a party, what a party, what a party

everyone in the square and looking from the windows

it's a dream and nothing more

how beautiful my youth was!

Being born at the countryside

I remember my grandpa Silvio and the grape harvest

But I live here in the city, where you were born

but the neurosis is generalised

confusion attacks you and knocks you down

and I'm not having fun anymore.

At my countryside people dance, they dance, they dance

in this night of full moon

at my countryside there's a party, what a party, what a party

everyone in the square and looking from the windows

I want my countryside back, the church, the houses

and the teacher who cultivates her roses

I want my countryside back, the old bus

that was slowly going back up, snorting late in the evening

but it's just a dream and nothing more

how beautiful my youth was!

At my countryside people dance, they dance, they dance

along with the full moon from the moment night comes and till dawn

I want my countryside back, those people who breathe love

and the pond that seemed the sea for us the children

at my countryside there's a party, what a party, what a big party

everyone dressed up nicely, maybe a little bit crazy

I want my countryside back, the merry-go-round, the barber

and everyone's doctor, the priest and the policeman

but it's just a dream and nothing more

how beautiful my youth was!
