Translation of the song Hola (I say) artist Marco Mengoni

Italian, English

Hola (I say)

English translation

Hola ((Hi)-I say)

I used to be a little better at dancin' on my own

before you put your arms 'round me

swept the world beneath my feet

and I was

just a dreamer living easy, not a penny into my hand

drink away the lonely days

that was 'til you came my way

And you said hola, hola

I don't remember anymore

and you said hola, hola

But I'm not sure that wasn't all

E tu che mi tiravi su con dei film stupidi

And you who cheered me up with stupid movies

senza dire una parola

without saying a word

e non mi capirai mai, né domani né ora

and you'll never get me, neither tomorow nor now

e tu preferivi la tv che starmi vicino

and you prefered TV better than spending time with me

e come fai a vivere se

And how do you live with yourself when

attorno al cuore hai il muro di Berlino?

around your heart you have Berlin wall?

Facevo delle pause lunghe una volta

I was on long breaks once

ma ridere e ascoltarti per ore non mi basta

but laughing and listening to you for hours I can't never get enough of that

ballavi latino americano una volta senza tenere il tempo

you were dancing latin American dance once in a hurry

come quando c'è casino ad una festa

like when there's much noise at the party

And I never was much good at watching movies with subtitles

but with you I didn't mind it

and I guess that’s the cliché

'cause now that you’re gone

I can’t watch films without them

Ain’t the same on this sofa

When there's no one to hold ya

Guess I wasted my time

trying to learn Spanish,

the only thing I can say

is hola, hola

Hola hola hey

is hola hola hey

is hola hola
