Elisir
Paolo Conte
Elixir
The woman with me,
much more than any woman,
I want her very much,
A beautiful cry
I sing everything and nothing,
A music without music
Where everything is nothing
Like music within music
Huhm, Huhm, Huhm
()
The place is like a valley of nomads
All here.
Listen to me, you, Neanderthal man,
Yes, or from Tangier,
Is there anyone among you who knows how to play
A dizzying dance, a frin frun dance
That takes off the shoes and the heels of the females?
It plays everything and nothing,
A music within music
Where everything is nothing
Like dust on dust
Huhm, Huhm, Huhm
()
It is played like this: with plebeian grace,
The hands that sweat
And offer to us, dear elixir,
The impossible Arabesque
Where everything is nothing
Just music, good music
And the dance shines
Like a devil in a lightning
Huhm, Huhm, Huhm
