Mi rubi l'anima [English translation]

I write in the notebook 'it's all a waste of time' and you,

you are now on the far side of the sea and I have only you

here in my soul

I unpack my suitcases and ring my friends and yet

I have to study for a while, though, I look for you through these pages

From tomorrow on, everything is going to be the same as always:

The people, the traffic in the city

I don't want to love this way again

How I wish I could hate or even hurt you, but

All I want is to have you here with me, I don't wanna love this way again

Me without you: what would life be like?

Every night I go out and you're there, looking at me

From that photo by the sea, and I'd enclose you in a box, If I could.

I got a call from that girl who seems to not give up on me at all

But if I loved her for real, at her side, I could at least forget about you

After the holidays, they'll be talking

Of those trivial stories of our age, I don't want to love this way again

Now I want even to fool around a bit and to not make more dramas but

The more I talk the more I see you here with me,

I don't wanna love this way again

Me without you: what would life be like?
