Giovane vecchio cuore [English translation]

Maybe I'll end up like this

a woman alone in a restaurant

me, who have loved few and known so many

that even now my memory breaks

and my heart stops too

thinking about how good of a scent

is a skin that smells good

Maybe I'll end up like this

but I can't know for sure

maybe I'll end up like this

Maybe I'll end up like this

or maybe I won't even have time to age

just to almost forget

what I was looking for

maybe it was something beautiful

that left in an hour

and it's strange, really strange to say this now

while I'm still searching for it

Maybe I'll end up like this

but I can't know for sure

maybe I'll end up like this

I am facing it, the time

that moves quick on the outside and slowly within me

despite all the damages it has caused

it couldn't take away my smile

it couldn't choose in my stead

If it lay its hands on me

it did it painlessly

I understand you and I won't betray you

poor silly young old heart

I hide you deep inside of me

poor silly young old heart

'cause when I won't be here anymore

crumpling these clothes

I'll be gone like this

like I'm still seventeen

Maybe I'll end up like this

sitting on a step of the stairs, resting

as always thinking to myself

that it all was rigged and that's not fair

and with which funny flip will I know

if it has been a journey or just a trip?

But until then I'll be there

because there's life

Maybe I'll end up like this

but I can't know for sure

maybe I'll end up like this

so then, let's wait and see
