Se tornassi [English translation]

That farewell without saying any word,

all the fault of a lack of clarification.

How many times I wondered if you were alone

in your new apartment.

So I put every emotion under glass,

if work has already taken over,

and the pride delayed the intention,

you don't know how much I feel you.

If I come back, why not?

What's the use of being apart?

I do everything to forget.

I know who you are, now that I'm not with you.

If I come back, why not?

By your side is like flying

now I would never let you go.

I can't lose you twice.

We keep in touch as a matter of interest,

to talk about the future of children,

but our misunderstandings are always the same;

we can't be close.

An armistice will soon be looming,

allies of an ancient nostalgia.

But nobody wants to judge,

nobody wants to say: "It's my fault".

If I come back, why not?

What's the use of being apart?

I do everything to forget.

I know who you are, now that I'm not with you.

If I come back, why not?

Being by your side makes me high

now I would never let you go.

I can't lose you twice.

If I come back, why not?

What's the use of being apart?

I do everything to forget.

I know who you are, now that I'm not with you
