Per troppo amore [English translation]

With too much love, I dirtied with colors

Our black-and-white love story.

I've been a slave to my every emotion

And betrayed everything I stood for

With too much love, I believed that my heart

Would be big enough

To hold all the anxieties in my memory

Or the weight of their absence

With too much love I put myself out there again

And didn't get much in return

With too much love, I transformed into gold

Your lead-heavy obsessions.

With too much love, how many times I've cried

Hiding behind a smile

I did not choose this absence

This exile from your paradise

What happened to our falling in love?

It deceived us and now it's trembling

In every scene of our life together.

Life used to make us feel good.

With too much love, I tried to find the reason

Behind each one of your everyday gestures

Opening up space for new convictions

Surrendering all my secrets to the heart

With too much love, I let your love

Be unique and everlasting

Beyond the sum of my desires

Among all the doubts jailed in my mind.

What happened to who we used to be?

To everything we built together,

To the infinite that dwelled within us?

We could touch the sky with our fingers...

With too much love, I made fire and brimstone

?

With too much love, I chose as my dwelling place

The world behind your closed door

With too much love, I don't regret having you

Because I still feel you near

Because lovers dwell in hope

And couldn't care less about destiny

Because lovers live in hope

And don't even know what destiny is....
