Perduto amor [English translation]

Lost love, lost love

I know that I’ll never see you again.

Lost love, lost love

But I’ll always think about you.

If yesterday I had you on my heart,

Tomorrow I don’t know where you’ll be,

The time only leaves from a love,

A little of regret and nothing else.

Sweet dreams of dreaming age,

Splendid flowers, happiness,

They ought to challenge the eternity

But instead they’re now failed.

Lost love, lost love

I know that I’ll never see you again.

Lost love, lost love

But I’ll always think about you.

Yes, in this world nobody like me

Lived happier with your love,

But all this has gone, who knows why,

Leaving bitterness in my heart.

Like that, as the caprice of destiny

The big love leaves you and goes,

You’ll have it in your hands but it’s known,

One day as you knew it will flee.

Lost love, lost love

I know that I’ll never see you again.

Lost love, lost love

But I’ll always think about you.

If yesterday I had you on my heart,

Tomorrow I don’t know where you’ll be,

The time only leaves from a love,

A little of regret and nothing else.

Lost love, lost love

I know that I’ll never see you again.

Lost love, lost love

But I’ll always think about you.
