Teneramente, Annamaria [English translation]

Anne Marie, tonight you are with me

and the past already no longer exists—

images that now

no longer remain for us.

Tenderly, tonight I will dream

about my new life together with you—

but now, love, no,

tell me nothing more.

It is enough for me to imagine the words you will say.

And how,

like the first time, you know,

I do not ask you what we are about anymore.

It is enough to just have you here.

But kiss me on the eyes

and tell me good night

so that I can dream.

Anne Marie, tonight I will dream

about my new life together with you—

but now love, no,

tell me nothing more.

It is enough for me to imagine the words you will say.

It is enough for me just to have you here.

If I close my eyes, touched by your kisses,

I no longer want to think—

I want to fall asleep.

Tenderly, love.

Anne Marie, love.
