Con gli occhi chiusi [E i pugni stretti] [English translation]

You only liked making love

There, in the pine forest,

There, you were never bored.

You felt fire in your vains

when I loved you,

when I held you close to me.

You only liked making love,

I was in love

and I never noticed

that with eyes closed,

with fire within

and with clenched fists

you never saw,

ever,

ever, ever, ever,

my love

my love

my love

poor love,

in your hands,

you suffocated it

with your hands,

your hands.

You only needed some days

to give the same speeches of yours

to someone else.

Close your eyes again

with the fire within,

you clench your fists again,

now it is his turn.

You only liked making love,

I was in love

and I never noticed

that with eyes closed,

with fire within

and with clenched fists

you never saw,

ever,

ever, ever, ever,

my love

my love

my love

poor love,

in your hands,

you suffocated it

with your hands,

your hands.

I went back there, to the pine forest

and I asked for forgiveness

Yes, I did it for you,

for the insults made to the green grass,

to the wind and the shadows

and to all the trees that you know.

My love,

my love,

my love,

my poor love,

my love,

my poor love.
