Ti lasci andare [English translation]

And you are quirky more than the usual

with that severity of yours

you want me to shut up, and then you don't

It's the alcohol talking

it gives me the bravery I lack

to tell you the truth

that I am sick of you,

and of your malice,

and of your body that can't

tempt me during intimacy.

I've had enough, I tell you,

of that personality of yours

I'll end up exasperated

because you go too far and you know it

Yes, you know it and why not

sometimes you make me wish to choke you.

God, five years and now you

let yourself go more and more

What a sight you are

with those socks always rolled down

with only half make-up

with the curlers still on

I can't understand how could

a man love you

not only I could but

I dedicated my life to you

You look like your mother who doesn't

have any femininity.

When people are around you pop up

you contradict me, you talk instead

with the poison inside you

you would destroy God knows what

What good fortune I had

to meet you that day

if only you kept quiet, but instead

you let yourself go more and more.

You are a tyrant who has

no sensitivity

but even though I know this

you are my wife and this is why

it doesn't take much to try again

now to start over.

To lose weight, a bit of exercise

look in the mirror a little longer

then smile and it will end

the freezing vibe around you.

And you, that despise me

and avoid me like the plague

try to become again the one that

one day, a long time ago

came running to me

and just like a long time ago

I will hold you close until you

let yourself go more and more
