Lyrics

Sai che devo partire
che mi dai prima di andare
vorrei vorrei vorrei
i tuoi occhi io vorrei
Io non te li posso dare
ne ho bisogno per vedere
potrei potrei potrei
ma i miei occhi sono i miei
Sai che devo partire
che mi dai prima di andare
vorrei vorrei vorrei
il tuo cuore io vorrei
Io non te lo posso dare
ne ho bisogno per amare
oh no, proprio no il mio cuore non te lo dІ
Sai che devo partire
forse per non ritornare
vorrei almeno vorrei
che non mi scordassi mai
Ma scordarti come posso
se io quasi non ti conosco
potrei magari potrei
ma lo so che poi ti scorderei
Io di te non ho pi№ niente
posso chiedere solamente
mi dai mi dai mi dai
il disprezzo almeno me lo dai
Quello sempre stato il tuo
io non ti regalo niente
se ti basta, se hai pazienza
posso darti solo l’indifferenza

Lyrics translation

You know I have to go.
what do you give me before you go
I wish I wish I
your eyes I would
I can't give them to you.
I need it to see
I could I could I could
but my eyes are mine
You know I have to go.
what do you give me before you go
I wish I wish I
your heart I wish
I can't give it to you.
I need it to love
oh no, no, my heart didn't give it to you.
You know I have to go.
maybe not to return
I wish at least I wish
that I would never forget
But forget you how can I
if I almost don't know you
I could maybe I could
but I know I'll forget you.
I have no more than you
I can only ask
give me give me give me give
at least you give me contempt.
That's always been yours
I don't give you anything.
if you have enough, if you have patience
I can only give you indifference
