Quando sarò capace d'amare [English translation]

When I will have learnt to love,

I won't probably need to

kill my father in secret

and to make love to my mother in my dreams.

When I will have learnt to love,

with my woman, I won't neither be as arrogant and fragile as child man.

When I will have learnt to love,

I will want a woman who really stands by me,

who doesn't crowd my existence;

but is never far in her thoughts.

I will want a woman who,

if I ever caress an armchair, a book, a rose,

wouldn't wish anything else but to be that thing.

When I will have learnt to love,

I will want a woman who never changes

but every thing for the smallest to the biggest will make sense just because she's there .

I will be able to look into her heart,

get close to her mystery

not with reason

just breathing.

When I will have learnt to love,

I will make love like I feel it,

no eager to prove anything, never wondering if it was good

And the night silence

my eyes tired

and a joyful soul

I will feel that sleeping is also a form of life,

not just rest

When I will have learnt to love,

I would like a love that never crosses duty

a love without sense of guilt

without remorse

as selfish and natural

as a river flowing by

With good or bad actions

without any strange deviations.

'cause, even if the river had any,

I would yet meet the sea,

this is how I want to love
