La gente non sei tu [English translation]

Look into my eyes, explain life to me

As it's been thirty years I haven't understood it

How to understand time and future

What to build and why build

Look into my eyes, explain things to me

Explain to me why I don't forget my first love

Why do I fight with those who love me

Tell me why the wind never takes pain away

Why you won't come back

And what does love have to do with prudence

When memories have no more patience?

This night, this night

Of a freezing summer

Memories are by our side

Absence has a poetry to call its own

This night, this night

I don't care about anything

If everyone else lies

While the important thing is that

You aren't everyone else

Look into my eyes, explain love to me

People say that you're authentic if you survive

Not to time, but to all the wounds

That we collect in life, like magnets

From places to which you won't come back

And what does love have to do with prudence

When memories have no more patience?

This night, this night

Of a freezing summer

Memories are by our side

Absence has a poetry to call its own

This night, this night

I don't care about anything

If everyone else lies

While the important thing is that

It is not you who is lying

Don't move away from my eyes1, I missed you

We're talking without moving, you don't know how much I've looked for you

Then look into my eyes and find the words

To explain to me how your absence doesn't make me forget you2

Doesn't make you forget me2

This night, this night

Of a freezing summer

Memories are by our side

Absence has a poetry to call its own

And I haven't learned anything

But I don't care about anything

If everyone else lies

While the important thing is that

You aren't everyone else
