Cancello chiuso [English translation]

A little villa

in art nouveau,

I was a brat, she was a child,

we used to play all day long,

but every night in the middle

of my childhood's dream,

She left me alone at the gate

"Bye Pierino, bye Ninì".

Closed gate,

which never saw me smiling,

Ancient gate

in front of which I always waited,

With my bummed out heart

which is as sad as me.

And waiting

all your house was getting asleep,

but in the shade of anything else there was

my vivid hope

to see you again,

And you, the one who I loved

Behind those closed windows stared at me,

And you loughed of my innocent love

You loughed of my sincerity.

Closed gate, that's like this the life without a smile

That's how it is your heart, that didn't understand

my bummed out love that can't forget you.

Closed gate,

that's how it is the life without a smile

That's how it is your heart, that didn't understand

my bummed out love that can't forget you.

Closed gate,

life is sad for who has waited for so long

Behind a closed gate.
