Bella Donna [English translation]

You are the eyes,

which show me

that you love me.

You are the hands,

which touch me

to save me.

You are the lips that say

that you think I am handsome,

and that it makes you glad

when you see that I am happy

Oh, Bella Donna!

Oh, Bella Donna!

You are the moments

of intimacy

when you open yourself.

You are the hours

of patience

when I feel sorry for myself.

You are the talks about life

and about the world around.

You are the community

in the small

and the large.

Oh, Bella Donna!

Oh, Bella Donna!

Oh, Bella Donna!

Bella Donna, look at me!

Do you see that I love you,

even if my glance is sometimes harsh?

But Bella, I am also afraid

after all the deceit I have seen.

Bella, I also have old wounds.

But, Bella, I have always believed

that love is possible.

Bella Donna, help me to be free!

Bella, all I ask is for your time.

You are the greatness

when you let me

inspire you.

You are the wisdom

when you let me

isolate myself.

You are the consolation

when I suffer

my bitter defeats.

You are the armor

when I must go out

and fight.

Oh, Bella Donna!

Oh, Bella Donna!

Oh, Bella Donna!
