Le farfalle nella notte [English translation]

It's getting late, it's too much windy

I also feel cold for you

So if you want some good tea

Come drink it at my place

I'll serve it hot, too hot

At my place, the lights are all blue

It's a step from here

I'm up there

It's an old trick, but

If you want, you can stay for a while

And to others I say 'No'

The butterflies in the evening

Are just like me

They look for the light

Because they're afraid

Of the dark night

Tonight

I will steal from you

My light

I'll only accept

A handful of flowers

No expensive things

I'm not a mercenary because

A cup of tea

Costs too little

And I don't care

About what

People talk about me

I don't care at all

They're all jealous because

With a cup of tea

Too hot, when it's hot

I love people the way they are

The butterflies in the evening

Are just like me

They look for the light

Because they're afraid

Of the dark night

Tonight

I will steal from you

My light

My light

My light
