Luka

Mi chjamu Luka

Campu à u secondu pianu

Stò ghjustu sopra à tè

Ci simu scuntrati eri mane

 

Sì tù senti un rimore stranu

In la notte, un mughju luntanu

Per piacè ùn dumandà (x2)

Ùn mi dumandà cosa era...

 

Serà chì sò sgalabatu

Tuttu mi scappa d'e mani

Serà perchè chì sò scemu

Eppuru nun facciu lu fieru

 

Pichjanu da fatti pienghje

Tù nun ti sai difende

Voli solu avè a pace (x3)

 

Sò bè ùn t'inchietà

Sò torna incettatu in a porta

Hè cusì ch'o rispunderaghju

Sì tù dumandi ma ùn ti fidà

Vuleria esse tranquillu

Nunda di rottu nunda di scialbatu

 

Ùn mi dumandà cume sò (x3)

My name is Luka

 I live on the second floor
I live upstairs from you
Yes, I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight
Just don't ask me what it was (x3)
 

I think it's 'cause I'm clumsy
I try not to talk too loud
Maybe it's because I'm crazy
I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry

 After that you don't ask why
You just don't argue anymore (x3)
 

Yes, I think I'm okay
I walked into the door again
If you ask that's what I'll say
And it's not your business anyway

I guess I'd like to be alone
With nothing broken, nothing thrown
Just don't ask me how I am ( x3)
