Città Vuota: Lyrics & English Translation (Luca End Credits Song)

The bittersweet song that plays during the end credits of the new Pixar movie Luca is called Città Vuota by Mina. The title literally means Empty City and it is one of nine songs on the Luca soundtrack.

It is a cover of It’s a lonely town, a song sung by Gene McDaniels in English. Mina recorded it in 1963 and later included it on her 1965 “Studio Uno” album. In 1978, the singer recorded a new version with the arrangement by Pino Presti.

Città Vuota – Mina – Italian Lyrics

Le strade piene
La folla intorno a me
Mi parla e ride
E nulla sa di te
Io vedo intorno a me chi passa e va
Ma so che la città
Vuota mi sembrerà
Se non torni tu

C’è chi ogni sera
Mi vuole accanto a sé
Ma non m’importa
Se i suoi baci mi darà
Io penso sempre a te, soltanto a te
E so che la città
Vuota mi sembrerà
Se non torni tu

Come puoi tu
Vivere ancor solo senza me
Non senti tu
Che non finì il nostro amor


Le strade vuote
Deserte sempre più,
Leggo il tuo nome

Ovunque intorno a me.
Torna da me, amor, e non sarà

Più vuota la città
Ed io vivrò con te

Tutti i miei giorni,
Tutti i miei giorni

Tutti i miei giorni.


Città Vuota – Mina – English Translation

The crowded streets
The crowd around me
It talks to me and laughs
And it knows nothing about you
Around me, I see who passes by and goes
But I know the city
Will seem empty to me
If you don’t come back

There is someone who
Wants me next to him every night
But I don’t care
If he gives me his kisses
I always think of you, only of you
And I know the city
Will seem empty to me
If you don’t come back

How can you
Live alone without me
Don’t you feel it
That our love did not end

The empty streets
More and more deserted,
I read your name
Everywhere around me.
Come back to me, love, and
The city won’t be empty anymore
And I will live with you
For the rest of my life,
For the rest of my life
For the rest of my life.
