Erano per te [English translation]

They were for you:

The rose I planted,

The tales I imagined,

Those dreamy nights,

Songs I was singing,

Were all for you.

The sea when it's pretty,

Fruit that's ripe,

Birds, with open wings.

Me, searching for you,

And I who was in love with you.

Were for you:

A dying rose,

The end of the tale,

The night that loathed you,

The worst song -

Were for you.

The sea, when it's closed,

The sky, when it's darkened,

The caged bird,

Me, going away,

And I who used to be in love with you.
