Lyrics

Volevo averti per me
ma tu sai che non è possibile
ti farei solamente piangere
dolcemente vorrei sorriderti
senza dirti la verità
questa è la felità
ma lo sai, dura solo un attimo
lascerà solamente lacrime.
Ma vorrei che tu
non piangessi per me
che tu fossi felice con me.
Non ho visto nessuna più bella di te
non ho avuto nessuna più dolce di te.
Volevo averti per me
ma per te non saprò che piangere
anche se vorrei darti l’anima
ma sei infelice cercami amor ti darò
tutto quello che ho.

Lyrics translation

I wanted to have you to myself
but you know it's not possible
I'd only make you cry
sweetly I'd like to smile at you
without telling you the truth
this is happiness
but you know, it just takes a moment.
it will leave only tears.
But I wish you
don't cry for me
that you were happy with me.
I've never seen anyone more beautiful than you.
I've never had any sweeter than you.
I wanted to have you to myself
but for you I won't know what to cry
although I would like to give you the soul
but you're unhappy seek me love I'll give you
everything I have.
