Notti Senza Cuore lyrics

Ms. Nannini writes as people speak, in short phrases. These phrases do not necessarily make complete sentences, but we are used to hearing that. I was struck by this when i saw the song written out. It seemed to make some sense when sung but did not on the page so i have broken the line where her phrasing suggests. The english is intended to give a sense of what the line may mean, it is not a singable translation. There are two verses to this song, the first dealing with the richness of experience and the second with anticipation of some realization or result from all of it. Both verses lead to a chorus that tells of the nights without a heart or a name and looking for an exit form them to the most beautiful sea. The final section, a coda of sorts, is, on the recording, a musing on the beautiful sea and the abandoned nights. Please feel free to send corrections.

Non e cosi
it isn't like that
che passa in fretta questa dolce malattia
this sweet malady that passes quickly
mi butterei da quella stella
i will throw myself from that star
spenta di malinconia
spent from melancholy
in questa urgenza di vivere
in this urgency to live
e furia di sentire
and fury of feeling
so di esistere
i know how to be

Notti senza cuore
nights without a heart
da non aver piet? Which have no pity
a parlare a gli angeli
to talk to the angels
qualcuno sentira
some one of them will hear
notti senza nome
nights without a name
da far tremare il cielo
that make the heavens tremble
dove c'? Una via d'uscita
where is there a way out
che trascina via da qui
that carries away from here
in un volo bellissimo
in a most beautiful flight
in un mare bellissimo
in a most beautiful sea

E' stata una battaglia persa
it was a lost battle
niente che mi tira su
nothing to cheer myself up
nemmeno un'ora di violenza
not even an hour of violence
che consoli alla tv
that consoles you on the tv
gli occhi sopra le nuvole
your eyes above the clouds
aspettando la luce
waiting for the light
di un'alba atomica
of an atomic dawn

Notti senza cuore
nights without a heart
da non aver piet? Which have no pity
a parlare a gli angeli
to talk to the angels
qualcuno sentira
some one of them will hear
notti senza nome
nights without a name
da far tremare il cielo
that make the heavens tremble
dove c'e una via d'uscita
where is there a way out
che trascina via da qui
that carries away from here
in un volo bellissimo
in a most beautiful flight
in un mare bellissimo
in a most beautiful sea
e mi sembra bellissimo
and it seems most beautiful
sopra un mare bellissimo
over a most beauriful sea

Notti senza cuore
nights without a heart
da far tremare il cielo
that make the heavens tremble
dove c'e una via d'uscita
where is a way out
che trascina via da que
that takes me away from here
notti abbandonate
abandoned nights
all'ultimo piano
at the last level
notti perse per le scale
nights lost on the stairs
e notti andate a male
and nights gone bad
notti senza me
nights without me
sopra un mare bellissimo
over a most beautiful sea
e mi sembra bellissimo
and it seems most beautiful
in un mare bellissimo
in a most beautiful sea
notti senza cuore
nights without a heart
dentro nei portoni
within the doors
notti da coprire il cielo coi cartoni
nights to cover the sky with cartoons
notti senza cuore
nights without a heart
notti senza me
nights without me.
