Lyrics

Prova un po' tu a dirmi perché dovrei arrendermi
solo perché
portandoti via… posso anche… perdere
Vedi per me perdere te vuol dir che poi…
perdo anche me.
Ma come si fa
a non vendersi l’anima
quando sei tu che vorresti comprarmela.
Ma come si fa
a sprecare anche un attimo
quando, quando ti dà
la maniera di vivere.
Ma tu, tu come fai
a parlare d’amore
se non sai
dare tutto di te…
Ecco perché non chiederai niente di me…
che non avrai.
Ma come si fa
a non vendersi l’anima
quando sei tu che vorresti comprarmela.
Ma come si fa
a sprecare anche un attimo
quando ti dà
la maniera di vivere.
Ma tu, tu come fai
a parlare d’amore
se non sai
dare niente di te…
Ecco perché non chiederai niente di me…
che non avrai.
Ma come si fa
a non vendersi l’anima
quando sei tu che vorresti comprarmela.
Ma come si fa
a sprecare anche un attimo
quando… quando ti dà
la maniera di vivere.
Ma come…
(Grazie a Luigi per questo testo)

Lyrics translation

You try telling me why I should give up.
just because
by taking you away, I can also lose.
See for me to lose you means to say that then…
I'm losing too.
But how do you do it
to not sell your soul
when you want to buy it for me.
But how do you do it
to waste even a moment
when, when he gives you
the way of life.
But you, you how do you
talking about love
if you don't know
give everything about yourself…
That's why you won't ask anything of me…
which you won't have.
But how do you do it
to not sell your soul
when you want to buy it for me.
But how do you do it
to waste even a moment
when he gives you
the way of life.
But you, you how do you
talking about love
if you don't know
give nothing of yourself…
That's why you won't ask anything of me…
which you won't have.
But how do you do it
to not sell your soul
when you want to buy it for me.
But how do you do it
to waste even a moment
when ... when he gives you
the way of life.
But how…
