Quand'ero piccola [English translation]

When I was young1

I always slept by the light of a lamp

Because I was afraid of loneliness

A fear that never left me

Not even now that you're here

And sleeping by my side

But I feel your dreams making you get distant

Because, for those who love each other,

There isn't, there isn't

The same dream to be had in two

A woman is more alone

When the man that she has close to her

Doesn't read

Her thoughts

When I was young

I always slept by the light of a lamp

So I wouldn't be on my own

Now I want, I want

To dream with what you're dreaming

A woman is more alone

When the man that she has close to her

Doesn't read

Her thoughts

When I was young

When I was young

When I was young...

And you sleep by my side

But I feel your dreams making you get distant

Because, for those who love each other,

There isn't, there isn't

The same dream to be had in two

1. The literal translation of this verse would be 'When I was small', but I thought it wouldn't make sense
