Una Donna Per Amico
Lucio Battisti
A Woman As a Friend
Maybe I don't know what I'm saying
Choosing you, a woman, as a friend
But my job is to live life
Whether it's everyday or unfamiliar
I love you, strong, weak companion
Who sometimes learns and sometimes teaches
Excitement is the symptom of love
Which we cannot give up
The consequences often cause suffering
We must console each other in turn
And you, dear friend, console me
Why do we always find ourselves alone?
Who did you fall in love with?
Too docile, not for you
I know, I'm becoming unpleasant
But it's always better than hypocritical
Okay, do as you wish
My advice never
I give up, do as you wish
We'll meet again as usual then
But what a disaster, I curse myself
I chose you, a woman, as a friend
But my job is to live life
Whether it's everyday or unfamiliar
I hate you strong, weak companion
Who learns little and teaches too much
There isn't a single tire that doesn't get a flat
The putty is you, my old friend
I'm the patch, but what a shame
What does it matter, it's up to you, go ahead, dream
I love you, strong, weak companion
Who sometimes learns and sometimes teaches
Am I in love? Yes, a little
Are you a moron? I'm not saying no
For you they're all a bit squalid
Jealousy is not allowed
You know what I want
You won't stop me
What a pain in the ass you are
You can always laugh later if you want
But what a disaster, I curse myself
I chose you, a woman, as a friend
But my job is to live life
Whether it's everyday or unfamiliar
I love you strong, weak companion
Who sometimes learns and sometimes teaches
