Io no mai [English translation]

With a letter you wished me farewell,

and each word of it shattered the image

of you that I've had all these years,

and just now have I come to realize who you really are...

I thought things were quite different between us,

and I'm not raising any opposition if this is what you want,

still I'd never treated you this way,

you know that

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever...

You've condemned me just as easily

as a person who had decided everything already cold-heartedly

without doing me the courtesy of a look back, of an explanation,

at least I'd have kept respect for you,

you brawled with my humanity,

but then your stupidity got the best of you

still I'd never treated you this way,

you know that

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever...

But where's reality?

For sure it's not here,

It's not of humans living together, behaving like this,

you denied me the possibility

of defending this dignity of mine

and one day this course of action will bring you

to experience only the sad reality

of those who choose the easy way out,

faking every possible excuse...

I'll leave you to your own devices, if you have some,

you'll only get indifference from my part

still I'd never treated you this way,

you know that

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever...

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never, I'd never, I'd never ever

I'd never ever!...
