Se bruciasse la città [English translation]

My heart no longer sleeps;

knowing you belong to someone else.

Your mother keeps saying that

you'll marry a man in May.

But, if deep inside your heart

there is a boy, it's me.

But who said that? And why?

Should I stop thinking about you?

Nobody knows who I am,

but I gave you your first kiss.

Without you, I go mad,

and every night, I imagine you are next to me!

If the city were burning,

to you... to you...

I would run to you!

I would even defeat the fire

only to see you again!

If the city were burning,

I know... I know

that you'd be searching for me!

Even after our farewell,

I am the one

you love!

My heart no longer sleeps,

it only imagines you next to me.

But this city never burns;

there's still a man with you.

But, if deep inside your heart

there is a boy, it's me.

But who said that? And why?

Should I stop thinking about you?

Nobody knows who I am,

but I gave you your first kiss.

Without you, I go mad,

and every night, I imagine you are next to me!

If the city were burning,

to you... to you...

I would run to you!

I would even defeat the fire

only to see you again!

If the city were burning,

I know... I know

that you'd be searching for me!

Even after our farewell,

I am the one

you love!
