Se bruciasse la città [English translation]

My heart is never sleeping;

it knows that you belong to someone else, now.

Your mother is telling people that

you're marrying a man, in May.

But, if deep inside your heart

there is a boy, that's me.

But, who says that? But, why

should I stop thinking of you?

Nobody knows who I am,

but your first kiss was with me.

I get crazy without you,

and I imagine you next to me, every night!

If the city was on fire,

to you... to you...

I would run to you!

Even fire I would defeat

to see you again!

If the city was on fire,

I know... I know

that you would be looking for me!

Even after our farewell,

I am still

your love!

My heart is never sleeping;

it keeps trying to imagine you next to me.

This city never gets on fire;

there's still a man with you.

But, if deep inside your heart

there is a boy, that's me.

That suburban lawn

saw you so many times with me:

it1 has been for too long without knowing

what has become of my happiness.

I get crazy without you,

and I imagine you next to me, every night!

If the city was on fire,

to you... to you...

I would run to you!

Even fire I would defeat

to see you again!

If the city was on fire,

I know... I know

that you would be looking for me!

Even after our farewell,

I am still

your love!

1. The lawn.
