Le tue parole fanno male [English translation]

Your words hurt,

they're as stinging as thorns,

they're as cutting as sharp blades

and if put in a little girl's mouth,

they can hurt, they can wound, they can get me to reflect, yes.

But never can they get me to understand, never to understand!

Your reasons hurt

how good you are at hitting!

What a bunch of words you're able to find out, while I don't know what to say...

Your words are like mines,

I can hear them going off outside in the courtyard,

in lieu of daisies, now

there are explosive charges!

Two long romantic lives kept apart...

...by these lyrics.

Your lips feel crummy, I know,

they've run off of lips to eat away,

oh but love hunger can be

cured, damn it! Using words,

that, yes, hurt you, make you bleed,

but don't make you die!

Ah! Your words are like mines,

I can hear them going off outside in the courtyard,

in lieu of daisies, now

there are explosive charges!

Two long romantic lives

two long romantic lives!

Two long romantic lives kept apart...

...by words!
