Un'estate fa [English translation]

A summer ago the love story of the two of us

was a bit like a fairy tale

but summer flies away and it takes along

even the best of fairy tales, fairy tales…

Your way is there, but it will drive us apart;

my way of holidays

will mark your distance.

A summer ago there was no one but you

but summer is like a game —

it's wonderful but it's over quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly…

I go back home and you do too —

such things happen.

One more summer will now gift me

a melancholic autumn without you.

Your way is there, but it will drive us apart;

my way of holidays

will mark your distance.

A summer ago there was no one but you

but summer is like a game —

it's wonderful but it's over quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly…

A summer ago the love story of the two of us

was a bit like a fairy tale,

but summer flies away and it takes along

even the best of fairy tales, fairy tales…

Your way is there, but it will drive us apart;

my way of holidays

will mark your distance.

A summer ago there was no one but you

but summer is like a game —

it's wonderful but it's over quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly…

And this is the end of the love story of the two of us —

two lovers losing each other

A summer ago the story of the two of us

was a bit like a fairy tale…
