Il cuore è uno zingaro [English translation]

I had a deep wound inside my heart

I suffered, I suffered.

I said to her: “it's nothing” but I lied,

I cried, I cried.

For you it's late, it's already night,

do not hold me, leave me down.

She said: “do not look into my eyes”

and she left me, singing like this:

Is it my fault

if the heart is a nomad and goes?

it doesn’t have Chains,

the heart is a nomad and goes.

until it will find

the greener grass there is,

it will collect the stars above itself

and then it will rest, perhaps

and it will rest.

I saw her the other night after one year,

laughing, laughing.

She hugged me, she knew that my heart

was pounding, was pounding.

She said: “let’s be together tonight”,

I so wanted to say: “yes”,

but without ever looking into her eyes

I left her, singing like this:

is it my fault

if the heart is a nomad and goes?

it doesn’t have Chains,

the heart is a nomad and goes.

until it will find

the greener grass there is,

it will collect the stars above itself

and then it will rest, perhaps

and it will rest.
