Illusione [English translation]

If only your lips touch mine,

All windows would reflect this

One caress, then another

We won’t know anything else,

Although, this is just an illusion

Days, honor, future - they disappear

In anticipation

I keep an eye on you

Ever since you learned to dance

From the day of the kiss promised,

A broken promise,

This desire isn’t relinquished,

Anticipation doesn’t compensate,

Doesn’t compensate

Let it also be my illusion,

And I’m breathless,

While you hold my hand

In the lively satin of yours.

If you want to save me - you can

There’s no better time,

Wake me up and tell me another “no”

Days, honor, future - they disappear

In anticipation

I keep the door open on this path

Where your steps touched the ground*

Leaving your name.

Desire is relinquished,

Anticipation doesn’t compensate,

As you can see, it doesn’t compensate
