Innamorare tanto [English translation]

You're driving your car

The black asphalt cuts the world in two

The city at your back is

The final frontier of civilisation

Your motor stutters a bit

It cuts out, and in your panic, what'll you do?

I appear on my bike out of the dust.

I'll fix it for you, baby, it's OK!

Pity I'm not like that

When it comes to mechanical problems

I don't know a bolt from an Allen key

How am I gonna do this?

I wanna sweep you off your feet

I wanna be your superhero

I wanna be the best in the world

At least for us two.

I'd like to be on the same plane as you

While the panic spreads

The hostess says the two pilots

Have been taken sick

Watch as I stand up, super-calm

I say "I'll take this beast down!"

We all land safe and sound

And you look at me like I'm your God.

Pity that I'm not like that

I'm even scared of heights

It was a big deal just getting my driver's licence

How am I gonna do this?

I wanna sweep you off your feet

I wanna be your superhero

I wanna be the best in the world

At least for us two.

I wanna sweep you off your feet

I want you talk about me with your friends

You could say "To me, there's no one like him in the world!"

You're sitting at a bar drinking a coffee

Before you notice that

A strange ticking sound's coming

From the chair beneath you

The bomb squad surrounds you

I push through: "I'll defuse it!"

Decisively, I cut the right wire

And you hug me and shout

"I want you to be mine!"

Pity that in reality

I haven't got these amazing skills

But I'm sure I'd love you most of all

If that's enough for you

I wanna sweep you off your feet

I wanna be your only hero

I wanna be the best in the world

At least for us two

I wanna sweep you off your feet

I want you talk about me with your friends

You could say "To me, there's no one like him in the world!"

And if aliens kidnap you ...
