Canzone triste [English translation]

I have a sad song in my heart

Cheerful, but not too much1 as sun as the sun appears

And I take my jacket

And a soul song

Yes, the verse needs changing, but...

It could work

Letting yourself go a bit

Playing with vigor

Further ahead, deep down in the heart

Without accelerating

Quietly

I have a sad song

In my heart

I'd have a lot to do

Dear friend Joe

You've fused

Yes, and I need to repair

Something that doesn't work

The motor needs to be redone but

It could leave again

Letting it burn

Pushing with vigor

Further ahead, deep down in the heart

Without accelerating

Quietly

I have a sad song

In my heart

In the evening as it gets dark

That just doesn't go down

To whom, to you, to whom I must tell it

If only you are here

The day rises, love, the night sets

...and we return
