Era d'estate [English translation]

It was summer and you were with me.

It was summer, a long time ago.

Hour by hour, we lived

happily, days and nights,

not worrying about tomorrow.

It was autumn and you were with me.

It was autumn, a short time ago.

Hour by hour, with no smile,

the summer fade out of your eyes.

I was watching you and dreaming a whole life with you,

but beautiful dreams never come true.

It was summer and you were with me.

It was summer, a short time ago.

And, through your face, clear tears

were saying only goodbye to me.
