Foglie morte [English translation]

How I wish that you also remembered

the wonderful days when we were friends.

Back then, life was more beautiful—

the sun warmer than today.

The dead leaves pile up together.

You see, I no longer forget the dead leaves—

and the dead leaves pile up together

like memories, like those we dislike.

And the north wind takes them away

into the cold country of oblivion.

You see, I no longer forget

the song that you sang.

It is a song

that belongs to us.

I loved you,

you loved me.

And we lived

the two of us together.

I loved you,

you loved me.

But it separated us—

this life—

and I know not why,

nor do you.

And then the sea erases

the footsteps

of two people who—

who are no longer in love.
