Anema e core [English translation]

We, who lose peace and sleep

never tell each other why.

Mouths that don't want any kisses

are not these mouths, oh little one.

Yet, I call you and you don't answer

to spite me.

Let's keep ourselves like this, soul and heart,

let's not leave ourselves anymore, not even for an hour.

This yearning for you scares me,

it lives for you, always with you, to not die.

What do we tell each other for bitter words

if the love can live with one breath?

If you also long for this love

let's keep ourselves like this, soul and heart.

Perhaps it might be that the crying is sweet,

perhaps it might be that it does good,

when I feel more happy,

it is not happiness,

especially if, at times, you tell me,

absentminded(ly), the truth.

......

......

This yearning for you scares me,

it lives for you, always with you, to not die.

What do we tell each other for bitter words

if the love can live with one breath.

If you also long for this love

let's keep ourselves like this, soul and heart.
