The animal

Franco Battiato

Lyrics Translation

Living life is not too hard
If I can be born again
Many things could be changed now
A bit of lightness and of stupidity

Faking, you're good at faking
When you are close to me
You always tell me I'm right
And I'd like to tell you that I feel better
Alone

Yes but the animal which is inside me
Won't let me live in happiness again
He takes all, the coffee too
He renders me a slave of all my passions
He never does give up
He doesn't want to wait
And still the animal which is inside me
Wants you

Inside me signs of fire
And water often quenches them
If you want them to burn
You leave them in the air
Or let them be on earth

Living life is not too hard
If I can be born again
Many things could be changed now
A bit of lightness
And of stupidity

Faking, you're good at faking
When you are close to me
You always tell me I'm right
And I'd like to tell you
That I feel better
Alone

Yes but the animal which is inside me
Won't let me live in happiness again
He takes all, the coffee too
He renders me a slave of all my passions
He never does give up
He doesn't want to wait
And still the animal which is inside me
Wants you

Inside me signs of fire
And water often quenches them
If you want them to burn
You leave them in the air
Or let them be on earth

Vivir no es muy complicado
Si puedes renacer después y cambiar varias cosas
Las frivolidades y tanta estupidez

Mientes, tú mientes bien
Cuando te tengo junto a mi, tú me das la razón
Y quisiera decirte que prefiero estar solo

Y el animal que yo llevo dentro
No me ha dejado nunca ser feliz
Me roba todo, hasta el café
Me vuelve esclavo de mis pasiones
Sin desistir jamás y nunca espera
Y el animal que yo llevo dentro te ama a ti

Dentro de mí, chispas de fuego
Y el agua que lo apagarà
Si quieres ver cómo arde, espárcelo en el aire
O déjalo en la tierra

Y el animal que yo llevo dentro
No me ha dejado nunca ser feliz
Me roba todo, hasta el café
Me vuelve esclavo de mis pasiones
Sin desistir jamás y nunca espera
Y el animal que yo llevo dentro te ama a ti

[Testo di "L'animale"]

[Strofa 1]
Vivere
Non è difficile potendo poi rinascere
Cambierei molte cose
Un po' di leggerezza e di stupidità
Fingere
Tu riesci a fingere quando ti trovi accanto a me
Mi dai sempre ragione
E avrei voglia di dirti
Che è meglio se sto solo

[Ritornello]
Ma l'animale che mi porto dentro
Non mi fa vivere felice mai
Si prende tutto, anche il caffè
Mi rende schiavo delle mie passioni
E non si arrende mai
E non sa attendere
E l'animale che mi porto dentro vuole te
(Eh-eh-eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh)

[Strofa 2]
Dentro me
Segni di fuoco
E l'acqua che li spegne
Se vuoi farli bruciare
Tu lasciali nell'aria
Oppure sulla terra

[Ritornello]
Ma l'animale che mi porto dentro
Non mi fa vivere felice mai
Si prende tutto, anche il caffè
Mi rende schiavo delle mie passioni
E non si arrende mai
E non sa attendere
E l'animale che mi porto dentro vuole te
