Laura non c'è [English translation]

Laura’s not here, she’s gone away

Laura is no longer mine

And you are here and ask me why

I love her if she no longer gives me anything

I miss her so bad I can hardly breathe

It hurts and she doesn’t know

That I never got over her

Laura’s not here, I realize

It’s foolish to search for her in you

I feel like shit, believe me, and I don’t want

To be with you while thinking of her

Tonight I want to be on fire

Let’s get out of here

All that thinking has exhausted me.

Chorus:

If you want to, let’s make love now, if you want

But it’s not the same between us

Being on my own if not enough, stay with me

It’s just strange that in here place there’s you, there’s you.

Laura, where is she, I miss her, you know

Maybe there’s someone else by her side

I swear, I never thought

This would happen to us, of all

She’s moving in another embrace

On a body that is no longer mine

And I can’t take this any more.

If you want to, let’s make love now, if you want

But it’s not the same between us

Being on my own is not enough, stay with me

It’s just strange that in here place there’s you, there’s you.

Maybe it’s difficult this way, but I don’t know what to do

I think it’s logical, as much as I try to escape, she’s here.

I don’t want you to be an emergency

But between affection and love there is

Only Laura and my conscience.

If you want to, let’s make love now, oh no

But it’s not the same, now I know

There’s still her image between me and you

I’m sorry, but I can’t do it, Laura’s here.

If you want to, let’s make love now, oh no

The world is crumbling around me, now I know

There’s still her image between me and you

I’m sorry, but I can’t do it, Laura’s here

Laura’s here.
