Nonostante tutto [parte I] [English translation]

What is there so beautiful in an unblooming rose?

What is there so beautiful in a dried-up rose?

It's that, in spite of all a rose is always a rose;

it's that, in spite of all, it's for you.

What is there so beautiful in a disappointing life?

What is there so beautiful in a boring life?

It's that, in spite of all, it's my life;

it's that, in spite of all, I'll live...

• Artist:Riccardo Cocciante
• Album:Concerto per Margherita (1976)
