Per dirti t'amo [English translation]

I wanted to dedicate a song to you

with the words of the television,

with all those flowers and those complicated speeches

as they do in the movies, in sophisticated clubs.

But I felt as I was committing a crime

because, to tell you that I’m in love with you,

because, to tell you what I think deep in my heart

there’s no reason that I pretend to be a great actor.

To tell you I love you, I love you, looking around me was enough.

To tell you I’d like to marry you, it’s fair to say it in a natural way.

I don’t want to close you in any fairy world

and I don’t want to go back to the past.

I know, we can have the world in our hands

if we’re strong and confident in tomorrow.

We’ll have a place to go to work,

we’ll have children to raise and to take care of

and so much love from people like us,

we’ll have a world, a new world next to us.

To tell you I love you, I love you, looking around me was enough.

To tell you I’d like to marry you, it’s fair to say it in a natural way.

You cannot breed the real life in a greenhouse,

I want your love, which is nurtured by the earth

because it grew up in the rain and in the sun

and it can also understand these words I’m saying.

To tell you I love you, I love you, looking around me was enough.

To tell you I’d like to marry you, it’s fair to say it in a natural way.
