Colpisci [English translation]

I still don't understand what else you want

What is behind your silence?

Pick a gun and one morning, at dawn

In the fog

Count ten steps from me

Turn around and then

Shoot, shoot straight for the heart

Kill our great love

It's best if you

Finish the job, do it right

Until there's no

Life left in its1veins

The stars are dreams that fade away

In a minute the Sun will come out

And maybe behind that light

In your eyes

The shadow of a regret will pass

When you

Shoot, shoot straight for the heart

Kill our great love

It's best if you

Finish the job, do it right

Until there's no

Life left in my veins

First one shot and then another

In the end, it's best that it was you to do it

The dry leaves and the mud

And the cold you feel

Keep telling me that you'll never be able to forgive me as you

Shoot, shoot straight for the heart

Kill our great love

It's best if you

Finish the job, do it right

Until there's no

Life left in its veins

Then you2

Shoot, shoot me

1. This verse blurs the line a bit between shooting him and "shooting their love." Here it says "the veins" so it's not clear if he means his veins or the veins of their love, personified. The last line of the last verse suggests the latter interpretation.2. It's not entirely clear if this is a command or a description. If it is a command, in English there should be no 'you,' but if is a description of what will happen the 'you' is necessary.
