Canzone per un'amica [English translation]

The long road ran straight,

the car was running fast

the sweet summer had just begun,

he was [sitting] next to her, smiling,

he was [sitting] next to her, smiling.

A hand gripped the steering wheel tightly,

the engine was singing loudly

you couldn't have known that Death

was waiting for you that day,

was waiting for you that day.

You couldn't have known that Death [was there]

when you're young it's strange

to think that fate

could come and lead you by the hand,

could come and lead you by the hand.

You couldn't have known, but how did you feel

when the road turned upside down

when the car went off the road

and landed on another one,

and landed on another one.

You couldn't have known, but what did you think

when the crash killed you

when even the sky above crumbled

when your life left you,

when your life left you.

Afterwards, silence only reigned

among twisted metal.

You were looking for life on the highway

but Death met you,

but Death met you.

I'd like to know what good was

living, loving, suffering

spending all your days

when you had to leave so soon,

when you had to leave so soon.

But I want to remember you as you used to be

to think you're still alive

I want to think you're still listening to me

and that you're still smiling, as you used to,

and that you're still smiling, as you used to.
