Francesco De Gregori - Alice

Alice guarda i gatti e i gatti guardano nel sole
mentre il mondo sta girando senza fretta
Irene al quarto piano è lì tranquilla
che si guarda nello specchio
e accende un'altra sigaretta
e Lili Marlene bella più che mai
sorride e non ti dice la sua età
ma tutto questo Alice non lo sa

Ma io non ci sto più
gridò lo sposo e poi
tutti pensarono dietro ai cappelli
"lo sposo è impazzito oppure ha bevuto"
ma la sposa aspetta un figlio e lui lo sa
non è così che se ne andrà

Alice guarda i gatti e i gatti muoiono nel sole
mentre il sole a poco a poco si avvicina
e Cesare perduto nella pioggiaFrancesco De Gregori - Alice - http://motolyrics.com/francesco-de-gregori/alice-lyrics-english-translation.html
sta aspettando da sei ore il suo amore ballerina
e rimane lì a bagnarsi ancora un po'
e il tram di mezzanotte se ne va
ma tutto questo Alice non lo sa

E io non ci sto più
e i pazzi siete voi...

Alice guarda i gatti e i gatti girano nel sole
mentre il sole fa l'amore con la luna
e il mendicante arabo
ha un cancro nel cappello
ma è convinto che sia un portafortuna
non ti chiede mai pane o carità
e un posto per dormire non ce l'ha
ma tutto questo Alice non lo sa

"Ma io non ci sto più"
gridò lo sposo e poi...

Francesco De Gregori - Alice (English translation)

Alice is watching the cats
and the cats are looking into the sun
while the world continues turning without haste.
Irene on the fourth floor is peaceful there
and is watching herself into the mirror
and lights another cigarette.
And Lilly Marlen, more beautiful than ever
is smiling and is not telling you her age
but all this Alice doesn't know.

"But I'm not taking part in this any more" shouted the groom and then,
everyone thought to themselves,
the groom has gone crazy or has been drinking
but the bride is expecting a baby and he knows it.
It isn't like this that he will go away.

Alice is watching the cats
and the cats are dying in the sun
while the sun little by little is approaching
and Caesar, lost in the rain,
has been waiting for six hours for his dear ballerina
and he remains there, and getting a little more wet,Francesco De Gregori - Alice - http://motolyrics.com/francesco-de-gregori/alice-lyrics-english-translation.html
and the midnight streetcar goes away
and all this Alice doesn't know.

"But I'm not taking part in this any more" and you are the crazy ones
everyone thought to themselves,
the groom has gone crazy or has been drinking
but the bride is expecting a baby and he knows it.
It isn't like this that he will go away.

Alice is watching the cats
and the cats are going round in the sun
while the sun is making love to the moon.
the Arabian beggar has something in his hat
but is convinced that it is a lucky charm.
He never asks you for bread or charity
and he doesn't have a place to sleep
but all this Alice doesn't know.

"But I'm not taking part in this any more" shouted the groom and then,
everyone thought to themselves,
the groom has gone crazy or has been drinking
but the bride is expecting a baby and he knows it.
It isn't like this that he will go away.
