Non mi tenere il broncio [English translation]

Don't be angry if I sing to you about

the dreams I had when I was fifteen years old.

Don't afflict yourself if you are absent

from my teenage memories.

Those two-bit love affairs

have prepared a great love,

and that is why I sing them to you,

I tell you about them, one by one.

Yes, and that's why I sing them to you

I tell you about them, one by one.

But, come on, don't be in a sulk,1

don't give me those furious eyes,

and, yes, you'll have your revenge,

you'll be my last song.

Of all the girls I met,

you were the one I was looking for.

When I held you in my arms

I trembled because I understood

that had finally come the time

to throw the anchor.

Because it is to you that, in every way,

I'll dedicate my life.

Yes, it is to you that, in every way,

I'll consecrate my life.

But, come on, don't be in a sulk,

don't give me those furious eyes,

and, yes, you'll have your revenge,

you'll be my last song.

No, don't be in a sulk,

don't give me those furious eyes,

and, yes,you'll have your revenge,

you'll be my last song.

1. A more common expression is "Don't hold it against me" but "tenere il broncio" has to do more with sulking or pouting.
