La dolce vita [English translation]

Every night without end

I was hanging out on my vespa

In my satin vest

It was the sweet life 1 2

I was looking for adventure

Until the early morning

I thought I was Ben-hur 3

Driving with one hand

But I met you!

And then everything changed!

The trap was easy

You fell into my arms

We were walking in town

It was the sweet life

And that way you had to hug

Against the lapel of my off-white tuxedo

That couldn't blaze me

Even in the dark

I see you again

Elsa, Elsa

I do not forget you

Elsa

Why did you leave!

I did not understand!

I have found you for long

The night to replace you

And for a few hours sometimes

It was the sweet life

And that way you had to hug

Against the lapel of my off-white tuxedo

I never found it

But the sun is declining

On my damaged memory

Every night without end

I drag an old disarray

In my sorrow vest

Far from the sweet life

And that way you had to hug

Against the lapel of my off-white tuxedo

I would forget it

But in my frozen dreams

I see you again

Elsa, Elsa

You're always here!

Elsa, Elsa
