Lei Non Sapeva Fare L'amore

She Didn't Know How to Make Love

Lei Non Sapeva Fare L'amore

One evening she was bornEra nata una sera
From a losing gameDa un gioco perdente
Between a distracted womanTra una donna distratta
And a falling starE una stella cadente
Her guiltI suoi sensi di colpa
Was following herLe stavano appresso
Like an old dressCome un vecchio vestito
That falls on youChe ti cade addosso

She was truly beautifulEra bella sul serio
With a made-up faceCol viso truccato
Like a paper flowerCome un fiore di carta
Uncertain and fadedIncerto e' sbiadito

Her lifeLa sua vita
She saw it pass by in a hurryLa vide passare di corsa
Others lived it for herGliela vissero gli altri
She was an extraLei fu una comparsa

She didn't know how to make loveLei non sapeva far l'amore
And couldn't do anything about itE non poteva farci niente
She didn't know the emotionNon conosceva l'emozione
Of loving oneselfDi chi si vuole bene
Of saying yesDi chi sa dire si

She didn't know how to make loveLei non sapeva far l'amore
And this is a marginal factE questo e' un fatto marginale
But a body lying on the bedMa un corpo steso sopra il letto
Sometimes has a priceA volte ha pure un prezzo
And a man paid for itE un uomo lo pago'

And a little for moneyEd un poco per soldi
And a little out of fearEd un po per paura
She decided to useLei decise di usare
That other natureQuell'altra natura
She put up for sale a faceMise in vendita un viso
Of a perverse girlDa bimba perversa
And she took her markE si prese il suo marchio
As a different womanDi donna diversa

She didn't know how to make loveLei non sapeva far l'amore
And couldn't do anything about itE non poteva farci niente
She didn't know the emotionNon conosceva l'emozione
Of loving oneselfDi chi si vuole bene
Of saying yesDi chi sa dire si

She didn't know how to make loveLei non sapeva far l'amore
She didn't know how to make loveLei non sapeva far l'amore
