Lyrics

Per te, per te io morirei
Davvero lo farei
Per te io cambierei
Tranquillo, onesto, virtuoso
Pacato, ben visto
Davvero insisto…
Per te, io non lo so cosa farei
Sarei un angelo del cielo
E prigioniero resterei
Di ogni tuo gesto, ogni capriccio
Te lo giuro imparerei
Solo se avessi il tempo, dammi il tempo
E tu vedrai cose che
Non immagineresti mai
Rose su rose, fino a che sedotta
Ti abbandonerai
A me in ginocchio come adesso
Che non l’avevo fatto mai
Vedi che piango…
Per te, io mi pettinerei
O chi lo sa… ma sì, mi sposerei
Ho già l’età
Farei contenti i miei
Poi nel profumo del tuo letto
Tu non sai cosa farei…
Tanti bambini somiglierebbero a te, più a te che a me
Buoni e carini non come me
Che non lo sono stato mai
Lo sai perché, se te lo dico
Non ci crederesti mai…
Non prendevo il latte da mia madre
In più mio padre mi picchiava
Tutte le sere, non smetteva mai
Poi mi diceva che mi amava… da grande, un giorno, tu lo capirai
Ed è per questo che ogni volta
Che ci penso, e che t’incontro
O ti rivedo
Come adesso… piango

Lyrics translation

For you, for you I would die
I really would.
I'd change it for you.
Quiet, honest, virtuous
Quiet, well seen
I really insist…
For you, I don't know what I would do
I'd be an Angel From Heaven
And I would remain a prisoner
Of every gesture, every whim
I swear I'd learn.
Only if I had the time, give me the time
And you'll see things that
You'd never imagine
Roses on roses, until seduced
You'll abandon yourself
To me on my knees like now
That I'd never done it
See I cry…
For you, I'd comb my hair
Or who knows ... but yes, I would marry
I'm old enough
I would make my
Then in the scent of your bed
You don't know what I would do…
Many children would look more like you than me
Good and cute not like me
That I've never been
You know why, if I tell you
You'd never believe it.…
I did not take milk from my mother
Plus, my dad used to beat me up.
Every night, he never stopped.
Then he told me he loved me ... when he was growing up, one day, you'll understand.
And that's why every time
That I think about it, and that I meet you
Or I'll see you again
Like now ... I cry
