Cinque giorni [English translation]

Five days that I have lost you,

How much coldness in this life

But you have not searched for me any more.

Too many people ask me,

They re-open the wound

And in me

You will never be healed.

I hurt also my friend

Who is every evening here.

I have sworn him to listen to him

But I'm betraying him and me

Because when you are wounded, you never know, oh, never,

Whether it is better to recover

Or to go to the bottom

Forever.

My love, how will I be able to put up with the life?

And I really love you and I'm begging you:

Help me to destroy you.

Five days that I have lost you,

The thousands tears are fallen

And I am nailed to you.

It's all and even more than all

To search to attempt to escape.

I have tried to despise you,

To betray you, to hurt myself

Because when you sink, you never know,

Whether it is better to make efforts

Or let yourself go to the bottom

Of the sea.

My love, how will I be able to put up with the life?

And I really love you and I'm begging you:

Help me to destroy you.

If one day I come back in your thoughts,

Tell me, who will forgive you

For being forgotten by you yesterday?

When it was enough

To hold ourselves more,

To talk a bit.

And I really love you and I'm begging you:

Help me to destroy you...
