Mille lire [English translation]

I'm young and I know it

but I already think about how it's going to end

sitting on a bench with

the anxiety of the things that I have to say

I am growing, I know

adding tattoos onto the skin

I have left home with my father's eyes

and in my dream the other thousand

I may not be perfect

but if you want to slow-dance

you will have to better understand what I feel

even if I'm not good at staying on beat

Ok then, tell me why

you already want to leave

i would sell my time for a thousand lire for you

but I ask myself why

do you want to hurt me

when I would even think of you in Brasil

I'm not what you were expecting but

my good will be here, no matter how it goes

ok then, tell me why

it is 3am and I'm about to go crazy

ok then, tell me why

you have sold my time for a thousand lire

I'm young, I know

but I have already learned how to take (offenses)

in this world you never know

how to behave

I may not be perfect

but if you want to slow-dance

you will have to better understand what I feel

even if I'm not good at staying on beat

Ok then, tell me why

you already want to leave

i would sell my time for a thousand lire for you

but I ask myself why

do you want to hurt me

when I would even think of you in Brasil

I'm not what you were expecting but

my good will be here

no matter how it goes

ok then, tell me why

it is 3am and I'm about to go crazy

ok then, tell me why

if you will think of me

even if I will not take the subway

even if in your heart I don't hit the mark

even if you wouldn't choose me

Ok then, tell me why

you already want to leave

i would sell my time for a thousand lire for you

but I ask myself why

do you want to hurt me

when I would even think of you in Brasil

I'm not what you were expecting but

my good will be here

no matter how it goes

ok then, tell me why

it is 3am and I'm about to go crazy

ok then, tell me why

you have sold my time for a thousand lire
