Era troppo carina [English translation]

She was too nice and she was not for me

She was too happy and she was not for me

With the summer wind she went away from me

I don't know whether she was running away from life or love

She was too happy, you know very well who you are

To love her for a life, you are not the right one

Like this now she has departed and I will never know

If she could have stayed a lifetime with me

Autumn has come and it was not for her

If she has gone to look for the summer for herself

I have remained alone and the wind makes

the leaves who are of no use anymore fall

Here, summer is far away with the memory of her

Now everything is over, she was not for me

If she has gone with the sun and has left for me

only the autumn leaves and the memory of her
