La canzone dell’amore perduto [English translation]

Remember blooming violets

with our words

"We will not leave each other ever, never, never,"

I would say now the same things

but as soon as do, love,

to dry the roses so to us

love ripping your hair

is lost now,

you just have a few listless caress

and a little 'tenderness.

And when you find yourself in hand

the flowers wilted in the sun

April is now a distant

you will regret

but it will be the first to meet on the street

you will cover with gold for a kiss ever given,

for a new love.

It will be the first meet on the street

you will cover with gold for a kiss ever given,

for a new love.
