Amici miei [English translation]

Tonight I will not come—do not expect me.

Tonight, my friends, I will go see her.

Tonight, I say it—if she wants to come back to me—

even if she does not—I can no longer hold back.

You need someone

to hold close in order to live,

and I live for her.

And if I return wanting to cry,

please, my friends, do not mention it.

Welcome me and smile because

a man—no—he can no longer cry for love.

No, no, no, no, no, no!
