Traduzione del testo della canzone Will-o-the-wisp - Pet Shop Boys

Will-o-the-wisp (originale)

I see you after many years
On an elevated train
Rattling above the streets of a city
Where men don’t wait in vain
I think, my, you may have changed
But you’re such a handsome thing
Do you still hang around that old arcade
To see what luck will bring?
(Will of the wisp)
The U1 is such a party train
(Will-o-the-wisp)
From Uhland to Warschauerstraße
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Emerging from below past Nollendorfplatz
(Will-o-the-wisp)
In search of love and laughter
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh (Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh (Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh (Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh
You were always such a free spirit
A bright-eyed eager chap
A will-o-the-wisp and charming with it
In your battered leather cap
(Will-o-the-wisp)
But maybe you’ve gone respectable
With a wife and job and all that
Working for the local government
And living in a rented flat?
(Will-o-the-wisp)
The U1 is such a party train
(Will-o-the-wisp)
From Uhland to Warschauerstraße
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Emerging from below past Nollendorfplatz
(Will-o-the-wisp)
In search of love and laughter
(Will-o-the-wisp)
And you, my former will-o-the-wisp
Will you recognize me today?
Give me a smile for old time’s sake
Before you run away
(Will-o-the-wisp)
You were always such a free spirit
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Aren’t you getting bored?
(Will-o-the-wisp)
A will-o-the-wisp and charming with it
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Who loved to be adored
(Will-o-the-wisp)
The U1 is such a party train
(Will-o-the-wisp)
From Uhland to Warschauerstraße
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Emerging from below past Nollendorfplatz
(Will-o-the-wisp)
In search of love and laughter
(Will-o-the-wisp)
You were always such a free spirit
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Who came and went so much
(Will-o-the-wisp)
A will-o-the-wisp and charming with it
I’m still longing for your touch
(Will-o-the-wisp)

Will-o-the-wisp (traduzione)

Ci vediamo dopo molti anni
Su un treno sopraelevato
Sferragliare sopra le strade di una città
Dove gli uomini non aspettano invano
Penso, mio, potresti essere cambiato
Ma sei una cosa così bella
Stai ancora in giro per quella vecchia sala giochi
Per vedere cosa porterà la fortuna?
(Volontà del fuoco fatuo)
L'U1 è un tale treno per le feste
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Da Uhland a Warschauerstraße
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Emergendo dal basso oltre Nollendorfplatz
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Alla ricerca dell'amore e delle risate
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh (Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh (Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh (Will-o-the-wisp)
Oh
Sei sempre stato uno spirito così libero
Un tipo impaziente dagli occhi brillanti
Un fuoco fatuo e affascinante con esso
Nel tuo berretto di pelle malconcio
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Ma forse sei diventato rispettabile
Con una moglie, un lavoro e tutto il resto
Lavorare per il governo locale
E vivere in un appartamento in affitto?
(Will-o-the-wisp)
L'U1 è un tale treno per le feste
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Da Uhland a Warschauerstraße
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Emergendo dal basso oltre Nollendorfplatz
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Alla ricerca dell'amore e delle risate
(Will-o-the-wisp)
E tu, il mio ex fuoco fatuo
Mi riconoscerai oggi?
Fammi un sorriso per amore dei vecchi tempi
Prima di scappare
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Sei sempre stato uno spirito così libero
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Non ti stai annoiando?
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Un fuoco fatuo e affascinante con esso
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Chi amava essere adorato
(Will-o-the-wisp)
L'U1 è un tale treno per le feste
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Da Uhland a Warschauerstraße
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Emergendo dal basso oltre Nollendorfplatz
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Alla ricerca dell'amore e delle risate
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Sei sempre stato uno spirito così libero
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Chi andava e veniva così tanto
(Will-o-the-wisp)
Un fuoco fatuo e affascinante con esso
Ho ancora nostalgia del tuo tocco
(Will-o-the-wisp)
