Le mani sui fianchi [English translation]

Deep within, deep within

It's better like that

Even if now

Only I live

I live here

Just like every evening

With my hands over my hips

The door open

Looking at the fields

I really liked

Talking with you

Even if yours was the last word

Just like every evening

We had dinner

But you didn't eat

And I didn't get why

Then you laid down your glass

And, keeping your eyes down,

Slowly said 'I'm leaving'

I looked at you in the silence

You put your stuff together

And in a moment

You were no longer mine

I never thought I could

Hate you more

Which would have been the sense

In asking you why?

Deep within, deep within

It's better like that

Words, love

Were no longer enough

But I won't ever forget your sighs, your silences,

Your strong hands

Your lips

Your arrogance, your strength

Your way of looking at me

When you said

You were the boss

The warm loveless nights

The indifference of the morning

I also won't ever forget

About this

I really liked

Falling asleep with you

I really liked

Speaking to you

I really liked

Falling asleep with you

I really liked

Speaking to you
