Foolish heart that's still following you
and night and day thinks only of you,
and I can't ever make it understand
that you love another and not me.
Foolish heart, ravingly foolish1
that still believes you're thinking about me,
is not convinced that you went away
and (that) you left me and you won't come back.
Tell me the truth, the truth
and, perhaps, it will understand, will understand
because, the truth, you have never told it.
Foolish heart that loves you
and forgives everything you do,
but, sooner or later, you know that it will heal,
You will lose it, so you will lose it.

1. "Matto da legare" is, literally "foolish (enough) to be tied up, confined". BTW "Matto" can also be translated as "mad, insane, deranged, rash, excessive, dull, weak, hot-headed" but, in the context of this song, the most appropriate is "foolish"
