Ciao ciao [English translation]

I return to the sea where I dreamed with you

and it seems to say to me hello—hi, hi!

I once again see the old friends that I have

and they greet me: hi, hi!

And nothing has changed on the pristine beach.

Under the hot sun, I search for you among the crowd.

I know you're there.

Here, you have seen me, and you

come running to meet me,

and you smile at me.

Hi, hi! I cry out calling you.

Hi, hi! My love, hug me.

Hi, hi! I came back to you.

Hi, hi!

You don't know how anxiously I awaited

to see you again—hi, hi!

Now I never want to lose you—

not even for a moment—hi, hi!

It will be easy to give the kisses of the summer.

We will spend together a hundred hours in love.

But then it will arrive,

the day I will leave.

You will come to the station

and will shake my hand.

Bye, bye! I am ready to cry.

Bye, bye! The train leaves, I cry out.

Bye, bye! Do not forget me

(Bye, bye!)

(Bye, bye!)

~~~~~

(Bye, bye!)

(Bye, bye!)

(Bye, bye!)

It will be easy to give the kisses of the summer.

We will spend together a hundred hours in love.

But then it will arrive,

the day I will leave.

You will come to the station

and will shake my hand.

Bye, bye! I am ready to cry.

Bye, bye! The train leaves, I cry out.

Bye, bye! Do not forget me

Bye, bye!

Bye, bye!

Bye, bye!

Bye, bye!

Bye, bye!

Bye, bye...
