Whirlpool [Italian translation]

Do I have a shoulder

That I can cry on

And a background

That I can rely on

Technically I cannot find them

Although I've stood fifteen long years behind them

I have wandered like the gypsy

No roof beneath that yellow moon

Shake me primitive

And out of tune

I try to pull myself ashore

Out of this whirlpool

This whirlpool

What's been said, I have not forgotten

I hear him say (something)

And the only thing about me that's together

Are my square-toed boots of Spanish leather

I would swim the stormy sea for you

Out of this whirlpool

This whirlpool

What you want

I tell you I got it!

Come, come here

And don't run from it!

Wouldn't it be any better

Showing your feelings

Than to have my name

Tattooed on your arm

I can be beaten

But I am too tough to be broken!

Come here I'll teach ya!

I tell ya

I'm not afraid to switch

I'll be your electrician

I (I, I, I) search for switch to your ignition

And then I'll pick up the pieces

You're so mucho-macho (???)

Pick up the pieces! I'll pick ‘em all up

And... I would swim the sea for you

Beg down on my knees for you

Hide myself inside of you

Lose all of my pride for you

Why?
