Te lo leggo negli occhi [English translation]

It's over, you've told me

but you don't mean it,

I can see it in your eyes

you need me.

Maybe you still want to say to me 'no'

but you're afraid,

I can see in your eyes

you're suffering because of me

And in your eyes, weeping,

a thousand memories have not faded away

forgive me if you can

and stay with me.

Perhaps true love will spring up between us

I can see it in your eyes

You can see it in mine.

But you don't mean it

I can see it in your eyes

you're suffering because of me.

And in your eyes, weeping,

a thousand memories have not faded away

forgive me if you can

and stay with me.

Perhaps true love will spring up between us

I can see it in your eyes

You can see it in mine.
