Quando finisce un amore [English translation]

When a love ends the way mine did

Without a purpose nor a reason, without nothing

You feel a lump in your throat,

You feel a hole in your stomach

Your head feels empty and you don't understand anything

And a friend is not enough anymore, having fun is not enough anymore

And drinking until you get drunk is not enough

And nothing is enough anymore

And in the end you think, there must be a reason

And you search for a purpose at all costs

But after all there's never a purpose

Because a love must end

And you'd want to change your face, to change your name

And you'd want t change the world

But you know very well

That it wouldn't help at all

Because she's there, because she's there

Because she's there, because she's there

Because she's there in your bones,

Because she's there in your mind,

Because she's there in your life

And you can't let her go anymore

Not even if you changed your face

Not even if you changed your name

Not even if you changed the air

Not even if you changed the life

Not even if the world would change

But, if you could think again

You'd know very well that tomorrow will be different

She won't be she anymore

I won't be the same man

Maybe I'll have already forgotten her

And if I could think again

But I can't, because

When a love ends...
