Ci si arrende [English translation]

I remember you, [you] know,

My countryside love:

[There’s] sun, in this foggy land

And easily satisfied people.

I want you so much

In these young summers,

Even now

[When] the best of our two1

Has already flown away and won’t come back.

But yes, see [how], see

How the night gets on fire

Like – even – a memory

Burning your soul,

Resigning.

But yes, drink [me], drink

Drink me, I’m the rain:

The rain that comes and remains

Inside the soul

Resigning.

Oh, it’s resigning.

For you – It’s resigning.

I regret you2, you know,

Even if just a greeting

Will remain3

In this party of melancholy.

I want you so much

In these futile summers

Even now

[When] the best of our two

Has already flown away

and won’t come back.

But yes, see [how], see

How the night gets on fire

Like – even – a memory

Burning your soul,

Resigning.

But yes, drink [me], drink

Drink me, I’m the rain:

The rain that comes and remains

Inside the soul

Resigning.

Resigning.

But yes, see [how], see

How the night gets on fire

Like – even – a memory

Burning your soul,

Resigning.

But yes, [keep on] living, live:

The night curses on us,

We’re [still] alive but yeah

It’s just an illusion

Resigning.

Oh, it’s resigning.

You know,

[Sooner or later] you resign.
