La canzone dell'amore perduto [English translation]

Memories, violets were blooming

With our words

"We’ll never separate, never and then never”?

I would like to tell you, now, the same things,

But as a fan shortly, love

The roses will wither, so for us

A love which pulls out the hair is lost by now.

What is left now is some mild caresses

And a bit of tenderness.

And when you find in hand

These flowers withered in the sun,

The april is far away, you’ll be sorry for them,

But it will be the first one you encounter on the road, that you

Will cover with gold for the kiss never given

To a new love.

But it will be the first one you encounter on the road, that you

Will cover with gold for the kiss never given

To a new love.
