FOTOGRAFIA Lyrics English Translation by Geolier
Geolier writes about a love that leaves no photograph. He asks to hear a lie one more time to feel closeness. The singer admits there’s nothing left, yet the memory persists at night.
Miettete In Posa ‘Stu Viento Te Tocca Te Faccio ‘Na FotoStrike a pose while the wind touches you, and I’ll take your photo.
Dimme Coccosa Che Sape ‘E Futuro ‘O Passato Se ScordaTell me something that tastes like the future, since the past is forgotten.
Pero Mo Ce Staje TuBut you’re here right now.
E Allora Statte N’appocoSo please, stay for a little while.
E ‘Sta Vita Che Corre Tu C’he Capito CoccosaThis life is rushing by, have you understood anything?
Stasera Addo VajeWhere are you going tonight?
Nun Me Dicere “Nun Me Ne ‘Mporta” Nun E OveroDon’t tell me “I don’t care” because it isn’t true.
Nn’ M’o Chiedere A MmeDon’t ask me.
Si L’ammore E ‘O Cuntrario D’a MorteIf love’s the opposite of death,
Fosse OveroMaybe it’s true.
Ce Mettimmo ‘Int’e Guaje Pecche Ce Fanno Senti CriatureWe get into trouble because it makes us feel like kids.
Nuje Ce Mettimmo Offline Pe’ Nun Rispunnere A NisciunoWe go offline so we don’t have to answer anyone.
Duje Ca Nun Hanno Maje PazziatoTwo people who’ve never played games,
Nuje Mo Simmo Comme Ll’ateNow we’re just like everyone else.
E Ancora L’aggi’a Fa ‘Na Canzone Pe’ T’arricurdaI’ve still got to write a song to remember you.
Nn’ Ce Sta Nemmeno ‘Na FotografiaThere isn’t even a single photograph.
Nn’ Ce Sta Cchiu Niente E Tu Si Ancora ‘A Mia ‘E NotteThere’s nothing left, yet you’re still mine at night.
E Ancora Nun ‘E Trovo ‘E Parole Pe’ Te Fa ParlaI still can’t find the words to make you speak.
Pero Tengo ‘A Forza D’alluccaBut I’ve got the strength to scream.
Dimmella ‘N’ata Vota ‘StauciaTell me that lie one more time.
Pe’ Te So’ Sulo ‘Na FotografiaTo you, I’m just a photograph.
E Si Venuta Sfucata PeccatoYou came out blurry, and it’s a shame.
Pecche Stive Bbona Vestuta StaseraBecause you looked so good tonight.
I’ Te Toccavo Mentre Tu DurmiveI used to touch you while you were sleeping,
E Quanno Te Scetave Doppo ScumpariveAnd when you woke up, you’d just disappear.
Comme Fa Friddo Pecche Nun M’astrigneIt’s so cold, why won’t you hold me?
Pecche Nun Scennimmo E Turnammo DimaneWhy don’t we go out and come back tomorrow?
Tu Si Alluccave Scetave ‘A CittaIf you screamed, you’d wake the whole city,
E Si Ridive ‘A Facive CalmaAnd if you laughed, you’d make it calm down.
Tengo Nu Sacco ‘E Cose A Te DicereI’ve got so many things to tell you.
No “Comme Staje” E ‘Sti Ccose RidicoleNot “how are you” or that ridiculous stuff,
Ma Te Chiedesse Si Si FeliceBut I’d ask you if you’re happy.
Quanno Ce Staje Tu ‘O Munno Se Fa InvisibileWhen you’re here, the world becomes invisible.
Pero Tu Staje Cu’ MeBut you’re here with me.
Falle Tu O Posto MioYou do it instead of me.
Viene Cca Cchiu VicinoCome a little closer.
Chillu Lla E ‘O Posto MioThat right there is my place.
E Ancora L’aggi’a Fa ‘Na Canzone Pe’ T’arricurdaI’ve still got to write a song to remember you.
Nn’ Ce Sta Nemmeno ‘Na FotografiaThere isn’t even a single photograph.
Nn’ Ce Sta Cchiu Niente E Tu Si Ancora ‘A Mia ‘E NotteThere’s nothing left, yet you’re still mine at night.
E Ancora Nun ‘E Trovo ‘E Parole Pe’ Te Fa ParlaI still can’t find the words to make you speak.
Pero Tengo ‘A Forza D’alluccaBut I’ve got the strength to scream.
Dimmella ‘N’ata Vota ‘StauciaTell me that lie one more time.
Pe’ Te So’ Sulo ‘Na FotografiaTo you, I’m just a photograph.
Che Me Ne Faccio ‘E ‘Na FotografiaWhat am I supposed to do with a photo?
Si Quanno ‘A Straccio Lieve Addo Stongo I’If tearing it up removes the place where I stand.
Pecche Nun E Maje Maletiempo Cu’ Te Cu’ Te Cu’ TeBecause it’s never bad weather when I’m with you, with you, with you.
Pero ‘O Sole Ce StevaBut the sun was actually shining,
Ero I’ Ca Nn’o VedevoI was the one who couldn’t see it.
E Ancora L’aggi’a Fa ‘Na Canzone Pe’ T’arricurdaI’ve still got to write a song to remember you.
Nn’ Ce Sta Nemmeno ‘Na FotografiaThere isn’t even a single photograph.
Nn’ Ce Sta Cchiu Niente E Tu Si Ancora ‘A Mia ‘E NotteThere’s nothing left, yet you’re still mine at night.
E Ancora Nun ‘E Trovo ‘E Parole Pe’ Te Fa ParlaI still can’t find the words to make you speak.
Pero Tengo ‘A Forza D’alluccaBut I’ve got the strength to scream.
Dimmella ‘N’ata Vota ‘StauciaTell me that lie one more time.
Pe’ Te So’ Sulo ‘Na FotografiaTo you, I’m just a photograph.
