Luglio [English translation]

July, with the love that I feel for you,

you’ll see, it will not end.

July made me a promise,

it will bring love.

You, also, by the sea,

some time ago, (my) love, (my) love,

you told me: "July will bring us luck"

then I didn't see you anymore.

Come, where I am there's so much sun

but my heart is so cold

if you are not with me.

July dresses itself like November

if you don't arrive.

July, it would be a big mistake

not seeing each other again.

But why, by the sea,

you are not here, love, love.

But why don't you come back,

it's been July for three days

and you're still not here.

Come, where I am there's so much sun

but my heart is so cold

if you are not with me.

July, this morning when I woke up

I had lost all hope.

July, I believed in a mistake1

and instead you are here.

You are here, by the sea,

only you, love, love,

and you’re running towards me, apologize for being late

but I don't care anymore.

July has rediscovered the sun,

my heart is no longer cold

because you are with me.

1. Here, the word “abbaglio” was used mainly for rhyming reason. What is actually intended is that he thought he’d seen a mirage.
