Adele – I Drink Wine Traduzione in Italiano(5.22)
You better (faresti meglio)believe I’m trying (trying, trying)
To keep (continuare) climbing (climbing, climbing) but the higher we climb
Feels like (Sembra) we’re both none the wiser (ahh)
So I hope I learn to get over myself superare me stesso
Stop trying to be somebody else
So we can love each other for free gratuitamente
Everybody wants something
You just want me
Why am I obsessing about the things I can’t control?
Why am I Seeking (cercando) approval From people I don’t even know?
In these crazy times I hope to find
Something I can cling on to (aggrapparmi)
‘Cause I need some substance in my life
Something real, something that feels true
You better believe for you I’ve cried (I’ve cried, I’ve cried)
High tides (high tides, high tides)
‘Cause I want you so bad But you can’t fight fire with fire (ahh)
Oh, so I hope I learn to get over myself
Stop trying to be somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you (so we can love)
Love you for free (each other for free)
Everybody wants something from me
You just want me
Listen, I know how low I can go
I give as good as I get
You get the brunt (colpo/impatto) of it all
‘Cause you’re all I’ve got left
Oh, I hope in time (hope in time)
We both will find (we both find) peace of mind
Sometimes the road less traveled
is a road best left behind (ahh)
Well, I hope I learn to get over superare myself
Stop trying to be somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you (so we can love)
Love you for free, yeah (each other for free)
‘Cause everybody wants something from me
You just want me
You better believe I’m trying (trying, trying)
To keep climbing (climbing, climbing)
but the higher we climb
Feels like we’re both none the wiser
The only regret I have
I wish that it was just at a different time
A most turbulent period of my life
Why would I put that on you?
That’s just like a very heavy thing to have to talk about
But because of that period of time
Even though it was so much fun
I didn’t get to go on and make new memories with him
There was just memories in a big storm

Bleary eyes = occhi cisposi/imbambolati/turbati
| The sculptures represent St. Paul as a man of small stature with bleary eyes with the sword, the instrument of his martyrdom. The girl opened her tired and bleary eyes, looked dully at her questioners, and waved her hand. In old age, he said, ailments (malattie/ disturbi ) proliferate: coughs, catarrh, bleary eyes, anxiety and exhaustion. There were about 10 people inside, twenty bleary eyes. | San Paolo viene raffigurato come un uomo piccolo di statura con occhi cisposi insieme alla spada, strumento del suo martirio. La ragazza aprì gli occhi, stanchi e imbambolati, fissò ottusamente quelli che la interrogavano e con la mano fece un gesto infastidito Nella vecchiaia, diceva, i malanni abbondano: tosse, catarro, cisposità, ansietà, sfinimento. C’erano circa 10 persone all’interno, venti occhi turbati. |
