Se te ne vai [English translation]

Tell me why there are flowers.

Tell me why the sun shines.

Explain to me why I cry

and no one cries with me

if you go away—go away.

Tell me why in this life,

there are still many colors

but because there are still those who smile

and who still speak of love

if you go away—go away.

What will I do if I am left without you?

What will I do if you go away?

Tell me why there are houses.

Tell me why people live.

Explain to me why I cry

and no one cries with me

if you go away—go away.

What will I do if I am left without you?

What will I do if you go away?

Tell me why I no longer have hope.

Tell me why I am left alone

and why I don't have the right

to be able to die for you

if you go away—

go away—

go away.
