Ti lascio, amore [English translation]

He:

I don't know what's happening inside my soul –

every argument is questionable,

The angst of being wrong is unbearable

but I know that I have to, that I have to walk away…

I don't know what's happening inside my soul

every decision already made is questionable

and the angst of being wrong is unbearable

as much as the certainty that I have to walk away...

She:

But one must come to terms with truth,

not with whatever happened and will happen next…

It's hard to live in this flawed mechanism

and I don't believe in fairy tales anymore…

He:

Leave me, babe,

the sun doesn't burn anymore by the time of sunset…

And being together is easier said than done,

being fond of each other is enough but not really quite

and most importantly is the prequel to regret…

She:

I'm going to leave you, babe,

I'm making room for new emotions

'cause it's important for the heart to speak out more unconsciously;

it's all or nothing, in between there's only place for losers.

This time I'm going to go with the flow…

He:

We don't know the meaning of being free,

we are children of uncertainties and loneliness;

we've been ruled by anxieties,

but now it's time to stop, this life is mine…

She:

Maybe being free is for us what matters most now

rather than looking for each other among uncertainties and loneliness,

Make sure that our lifetimes haven't gone to waste

and my life now belongs to me…

He:

Leave me, babe, don't pretend you didn't understand;

the noise the heart makes while in love went missing.

Our wild and timid instinct asks for more room

and this silence spreading out says it all…

She:

I'm going to leave you, babe, let's not turn this into a comedy–

there is no tragedy when the ending is predictable.

This is not an invitation, but rather my desperate need

and I cheated on you

but I've always loved you in my own way…

I'm going to leave you, babe…

No, don't hate me, darling…

I'm going to leave you, babe…

I'm going to leave you…

He:

In a year's time all this will be forgotten…

or maybe, help me understand,

tell me... that all of this... is wrong…
