Non voglio nascondermi [English translation]

I have gathered up my courage.

What do I care if he's there,

if he finds us out, so much worse (for him):

either he forgives you or goes away.

Of your caprices, I'm tired

and I can't live without you,

but I want to have you for myself only,

here, among the people, holding me.

I want to love you without hiding ourselves anymore,

without you thinking about him.

I no longer want like a boy-toy1steal

your kisses that are his.

Like thieves in the night

we meet wherever you want,

with my heart that's beating

I hold you in my arms.

But you keep me as a backup,

you're afraid of letting go

of the one who makes your life easy

for a boy like me.

I want to love you without hiding ourselves anymore

without you thinking about him.

I no longer want like a boy-toy steal

your kisses that are his.

It's a clandestine love affair,

it's not the one I dreamed of,

it's a dark labyrinth

from which I can never come out.

I have gathered my courage.

What do I care if he's there,

what do I care if I go crazy,

I no longer love you, I no longer love you.

1. The Italian word "amante" is frequently used for a man or woman who has continuous sexual relations with a married man or woman; the female English equivalent is "mistress" but I don't think "lover" for a man would really give the proper intention here.
