Translation of Non Dirgli Mai (20 Anni Dopo) from Italian to English
Your sweater long over your hands
That chest that never grew more
The bike rides in spring
The wind also smelled of you
Of this time together, only photographs
And so far apart, we still think of us
I still remember that day of the first kiss in Naples
But it's not right to think of you tonight
Your heart already has a new beat
Speak ill of me without any pity
Even though I know how much it hurts
Yes, tonight I would have kissed you
Never tell him
That we stayed in bed for an entire day
And the fear of that storm how it made us hold each other tight
Our arguments about hair and eyes imagining a child
You even drew his profile and then tore up the paper
Never tell him
How beautiful it was that night by the sea
Behind a boat we waited tightly for the sun to come up
That time your delay made our hearts tremble
That false alarm kept us together without making love
Never tell him
Extinguish the fire that burns inside you
And hide those red eyes if you think of me
But if he holds your hands
Breathe harder saying that you love him
His life is more beautiful since you are there
You hurt him if one day talking about us
You still have a tear for me
Never tell him
That yours is not love, it's sex without heart
That it hurts you if he wants to kiss you there by the sea
That you sometimes smile at him pretending but hold back the tears
If at that moment through the paths of the heart I am walking
Not even I
Want to tell you, love, how much I'm suffering
How many times I think in the middle of the night and talk, and talk sobbing
I hurt myself when I want to erase your memories
Closed in my heart I will carry forever this great love
I will love you minute by minute all my life
We are far apart but our story has never ended
