Hi everyone, here is my attempt at translating "Sole Malato", it was quite difficult since these lyrics are enriched with many metaphors, puns, and other figures of speech. Therefore I have been trying to translate the general meaning of the song instead of doing a pointless literal translation; however I did my best to make it accurate and to be as close as possible to the original.
Hope you enjoy them and please feel free to ask whether you have any doubts; on the other hand if you want to make any corrections, you're all very welcomed.

Sick sun

Sun, sick (pale) sun
hung at the top of a yellowed tree,
my sky turned grey
since you've gone
Sun, sick sun,
It stands there, reminding me everything's ended
I think of you. You cry in someone else's arms,
my love, what should i say to you?
I miss the sun
that burned your skin, in the middle of the sea
when a fish net spread out the love over us (I know it doesn't make sense, no worries it does not even in italian! ;D )
you were hugging me, full of sighs
Sun, sick sun
It stands there, reminding me everything's ended
I think of you. You cry in someone else's arms,
my love, what should i say to you?
The spring is the only hope we have
Nostalgia is the only partner we have
As soon as the winter ends, my love (literally my life), find a way, come and find me
Sun, sick sun
unknown birds are flying in the sky
It stands there, reminding me everything's ended
I think of you. You cry in someone else's arms,
my love, what should i say to you?

.....you're right!
2007 Italian concerts were even better than Amsterdam one
the album has few tracks, and too many "manipulations"

Hi,
Thank's to all people who made the effort and translated this fabulous Mondo Cane project.
Now when I listen to the songs they seem even more beautiful.
Take care all Mike fans!

Thank you, elis-paris, for having the courage to be different from the others and post a message.
You all should excuse us for the outburst above but it's quite frustrating to see all your efforts going unacknowledged.
We are very happy that you like the translations and we know they are far from perfect right now, but we're working for making them more accurate and clear.
As part of this forum and this fans community and as one of the people who helped translating these songs, I have no problem saying that I love to help other fans and people to understand a language they don't know, the only reward I seek is a comment like yours.
When I decided to contribute to this section my aim was, and still is, to help creating a community of international people with whom I could share my thoughts, knowledge and opinions. So please feel free to post and share whatever, it only takes a second.

first i want to say thank you so much for the time & effort of posting the Mondo Cane lyrics in both Italian and English. the Italian helps me to sing along and the English lets me know what i'm singing..

second, i was confused to see lyrics for 22 songs, since my CD only has 11 tracks on it.. but then a little web searching and i found the live concert in Amsterdam with all 22 songs, and more importantly now i've gotten to SEE the performance too!!!

none of this would have been possible if not for your forum. thank you again, i'm very happy to have joined and will definitely be back.
