Hi, I'm hoping that someone in the 'verse can help me.
I've been trying to find a translation to English from Italian of the following:

Osservatori osservati

I have gathered so far that it is something to do 'watching' or 'observing',

It's a song title from the soundtrack of For A Few Dollars More (the classic Clint Eastwood spaghetti western). But wherever I've searched it doesn't seem to give a definitive answer.
The usual online translator (Babelfish, Word Reference and the others) either translate one word but not the other, or spit out different results.
I even tried going through Amazon and others looking for the track listings, but there are no translations, everything is listed in Italian.

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

I don't officially speak Italian, but I believe it says:

"The watchers are being watched."

Thankyou for your help.

It's further than where I'd got. Never could get the hang of foreign languages.

Thanks again.

literally translated it means "observed observers", or "observers observe"...but I like the watchers are being watched...more profound/poetic.
