Lontano Degli Occhi [English translation]

What is it?

There's something cold in the air

Which is not winter.

What is it?

Tonight the children in the street

They don't play anymore.

I don't know why

The joy of the old friends

I enjoy it no more.

Someone told me

Out of sight,

Away from the heart,

And you are away,

Far away from me.

For each who come back

And bring a rose to you

A thousand forgot you.

Out of sight,

Away from the heart,

And you are away,

Far away from me.

Now I know

What was this bitter taste

Which lingers after you,

When you

Are away and I don't know where you are,

What you do, where you go.

And I don't know why

I can't imagine anymore the smile

That's in your eyes

When you are not

With me.

Out of sight,

Away from the heart,

And you are away,

Far away from me.

For each who come back

And bring a rose to you

A thousand forgot you.

Out of sight,

Away from the heart,

And you are away,

Far away from me.

Out of sight,

Away from the heart,

And you are away,

Far away from me.
