Una ragazzina come te [English translation]

The time of love has passed

like a dream that will not come back.

You were too beautiful, too young for me

What remains for me now without you?

I will never forget again

that evening when I met you

You were so small—so unusual for me—

a little girl like you.

With your hair a little unkempt—

with your black eyes a little downcast—

I never thought of falling in love this way—

nor could you actually tell me "yes."

You said yes, I love you.

I want you to stay close to me.

But you want love and love is not there—

I did not give my heart to you..

I spend my hours now remembering—

I spend time now wondering why

you came and then you left like that—

you left me waiting for you here.

I spend my hours now remembering—

I spend my time now wondering why

you wanted to hurt me so much when

I gave you only good things.

My baby won't come back tome.

I will no longer hold her next to me.

Now her path heads far away and she

will walk down it without me.

The time of love has passed

like a dream that will not come back.

You were too beautiful, too young for me

What remains for me now without you?

You were too beautiful, too young for me

What remains for me now without you?
