Forte [English translation]

I'm only desperate.

I'm nothing, I can't live without you anymore.

You decided all of a sudden

like a lightning and I was knocked down.

What a great pain.

What a great displeasure to love you.

"There are no others like us",

you told me, "We'll never leave each other".

I dreamed of paradise

but, disappointed, now I live in trouble.

I want your love.

I want you.

Because you're strong, more than the sea and the wind.

Even stronger than the coldest winter.

You are strong, lighter than a feather.

And stronger than the sins of the world, love.

I look for you in everything.

On the streets, I ask my friends if

they saw you with anyone

or if you were alone and asked about me.

What a great pain.

What a great displeasure to love you.

Today I wrote a very

sad song, it says you're no longer mine.

The clock stopped

at seven, when you left.

I want your heart.

I want you.

Because you're strong, more than the sea and the wind.

Even stronger than the coldest winter.

You are strong, lighter than a feather.

And stronger than the sins of the world, love.

Then at night before sleeping,

I look at the sky and think of you,

and you sleep with me.

Every day everything I do,

I do it next to you.

You're inside me.

Because you're strong, more than a thousand horses.

Even stronger than the passing of time.

You are strong, sweet as a caress.

And stronger than the world's envy, love.

(I'm only desperate...)

(I'm nothing, I can't live without you anymore...)

(You decided all of a sudden

like a lightning and I was knocked down...)

Strong.

Because you're strong, more than the sea and the wind.

Even stronger than the coldest winter.

You are strong, lighter than a feather.

And stronger than the sins of the world, love.

Because you're strong, more than a thousand horses.

Even stronger than the passing of time.

You are strong, sweet as a caress.

And stronger than the world's envy, love.
