Lyrics & translation
Verse
Heavy eyes and feet of lead
Occhi pesanti e piedi di piombo
The service lift is moving slow
L'ascensore di servizio si muove piano
Check-in done at half past three
Check-in fatto alle tre e mezza
We just want a place to sleep
Vogliamo solo un posto dove dormire
Chorus
White lilies in a metal box
Gigli bianchi in una scatola metallica
Helping out the weary night porter
Aiutando lo stanco portiere di notte
Flowers for the room upstairs
Fiori per la stanza di sopra
Late night at the Grand Hotel
Tarda notte al Grand Hotel
Verse
Uniform with a tired smile
Divisa con un sorriso stanco
The porter holds the heavy vase
Il facchino tiene il vaso pesante
We take the roses from his hands
Prendiamo le rose dalle sue mani
Floor by floor the cables hum
Piano dopo piano i cavi ronzano
Chorus
White lilies in a metal box
Gigli bianchi in una scatola metallica
Helping out the weary night porter
Aiutando lo stanco portiere di notte
Flowers for the room upstairs
Fiori per la stanza di sopra
Late night at the Grand Hotel
Tarda notte al Grand Hotel
Verse
Leaving bouquets at the door
Lasciando i bouquet davanti alla porta
The hallway carpet dampens every sound
Il tappeto del corridoio smorza ogni suono
Kindness in the quiet hours
Gentilezza nelle ore di silenzio
Now we find our own keycard
Ora troviamo la nostra chiave magnetica
Chorus
White lilies in a metal box
Gigli bianchi in una scatola metallica
Helping out the weary night porter
Aiutando lo stanco portiere di notte
Flowers for the room upstairs
Fiori per la stanza di sopra
