A Casa D'irene Lyrics
Nico Fidenco
Lyrics
giorni grigi sono le lunghe strade silenziose
Di un paese deserto E senza cielo
A casa d'Irene si canta si ride
C'e gente che viene, c'e gente che va
A casa d'Irene botiglie di vino
A casa d'Irene stasera si va
Giorni senza domani e il desiderio di te
Solo quei giorni che sembrano fatti di pietra
Niente altro che un muro
Sormontato da cocci di botiglia
A casa d'Irene si canta si ride
C'e gente che viene, c'e gente che va
A casa d'Irene botiglie di vino
A casa d'Irene stasera si va
E poi, ci sei tu a casa d'Irene
E quando mi vedi tu corri da me
Mi guardi negli occhi, mi prendi la mano
Ed in silenzio mi porti con te
A casa d'Irene si canta si ride
C'e gente che viene, c'e gente che va
A casa d'Irene botiglie di vino
A casa d'Irene stasera si va
Giorni senza domani e il desiderio di te
Nei giorni grigi io so dove trovarti
I giorni grigi mi portano da te
A casa d'Irene, a casa d'Irene
A casa d'Irene si canta si ride
C'e gente che viene, c'e gente che va
A casa d'Irene botiglie di vino
A casa d'Irene stasera si va
English Translation of the Italian lyrics
The grey days are the long silent roads
Of a deserted country and without heaven
At Irene's house they're singing, they're laughing
There are people coming, there are people going
At Irene's house, bottles of wine
To Irene's house they're going tonight
Days without tomorrow and the desire for you
Only these days which seem to be made of stone
Nothing else than a wall
Overtopped by shards of bottles
And then there are you at Irene's house
And when you see me you run to me
You look into my eyes, you take my hand
And silently you take me with you
Days without tomorrow and the desire for you
On these grey days I know where to find you
The grey days take me to you
To Irene's house, to Irene's house
