Ti amo [German version] [English translation]

"Ti Amo"

You used to say "Ti amo"

That means "I love you so"

What has remained

From you loving me?

From a hundred times "Ti amo"?

Did you just say that in passing

Because it was expected from you?

Words are cheap

Are sometimes so cheap

People pretend

That's the way it has to be

Is that what you did?

Sensual games

And fake feelings

And now you want to pursue new avenues

Want to end this bond we had

You're standing there, your suitcase packed

All that once was

Is now over

Your "Ti amo"

Your pretty "Ti amo"

Nothing but background music

For summer days

That's all you could give

I believed the two of us would last

I'm all the wiser now, unfortunately

But I cannot deny

That what we had was wonderful

Oh so wonderful

So go your own way

It's what you've chosen

If nothing can stop you from leaving

I'm gonna live on

Without you

And even though the days are gonna be hard for me

And the nights empty

Eventually I will forget

It's gonna be over

For it has to be

You want it that way

I know you want it that way

How long until you're gonna tell somebody else1

"Ti amo", "Ti amo", "Ti amo", "Ti amo", "Ti amo"?

You want to pursue new avenues

Want to end this bond we had

You're standing there, your suitcase packed

All that once was

Is now over

[2x:]

Your "Ti amo"

Your pretty "Ti amo"

Nothing but background music

For summer days

That's all you could give

I believed the two of us would last

I'm all the wiser now, unfortunately

But I cannot deny

That what we had was wonderful

Oh so wonderful

Ti amo...
