In assenza di te [English translation]

I’m like a tree stripped bare, without you,

Now, without leaves and roots

So desolate that,

To come back to life, I need you here

There isn’t a thing that doesn’t remind me of us

In that house, which is now lost

While the snow falls

It’s almost Christmas and you’re not there any more

And I miss you, my love

I miss you like when I am searching for God

And without you

I want to tell you that

I miss you, my love

The sorrow is as deep as a long goodbye

And without you

There is a hole inside me

Because what we had together lives on

Every crease, every page

If I close my eyes, you are here

And once again, you hold me so tight

And I see us in intimacy

Intertwined so that we never let go

You will be in every tear

So that I never forget you

And I miss you, my love

So much that every day, I’m just dying

I need you

To have you here to tell you that

I miss you, my love

The sorrow is as cold as a long goodbye

And without you

There is a hole inside me

I miss you, my love

And I miss you like when I am searching for God

I need you

To have you here again with me

And I miss you, my love

So much that I even want to follow you

And without you

There is a hole is inside me

I cry out that I need you

Because there is no life left in me

I live without, without you
