Amore disperato [English translation]

What do you want to know, it's better not to know

(What do you want to know, it's better not to know)

The love you're asking of me cannot end well...

It cannot end well...

The heavens don't want it

Its clouds are in chains

It doesn't let the sun come out anymore

Without wind and without sails

Your love doesn't move

It's still as a rock

And even the blood in the veins...

It's love in the midst of ice

Held in the glove of power

A cowardly heart

that doesn't know how to love

Takes lives with one arm

Keeps them closed in the dark

covered in chains...

There's a sign, short and clear

Down there in your hand

It's the shadow of destiny

That, like an unripe fruit

Or the first morning star

Makes love immortal...

Desperate love

Love that's never been loved

Love that's crucified

Love that resists

And if God exists

You, you two

Will meet each other again, there, there...

Love...

The match has started

The devil defies you

The claws of power

That like black snow

A church's mourning

A lighted candle

Desperate love

Love that's never been loved

Love that's crucified

Love that resists

And if God exists

You, you two

Will meet each other again, there, there...
