Vieni a vedere perché [English translation]

I keep saying that I'm not after love

that I prefer thinking of myself:

but this is not the truth,

come see why...

People always see me laugh

but the reality is quite different:

I cry every night,

always over her,

come see why...

I keep saying that I hate love

that it is of no use for my needs but,

God knows that, I keep praying

to be able to meet it sooner or later!

Life all around me, that's all I want for myself

I want you, day and night, I need to convince you that...

You'll get to understand that the sky is so beautiful because

in fact it provides a roof for a world full of pain and tears

And you'll get to cry, oh that's for sure!

But after a while you'll find life easier,

and you, so frail, will have a fresh start!

Somebody gives up love

just because they've never experienced it

here I am, give me your love and then

you'll get to understand why I keep saying that I hate love

that it is of no use for my needs but,

God knows that, I keep praying to be able to meet it sooner or later!

Life all around me, that's all I want for myself

I want you completely, I need to convince you that...

You'll get to understand that the sky is so beautiful because

in fact it provides a roof for a world full of pain and tears...

Oh, and you'll get to cry, oh that's for sure! But after a while you'll find life easier,

and you, so frail, will start living again!

I keep saying that I'm not after love

that I prefer thinking of myself:

but this is not the truth,

come see why...
