Mani bucate [English translation]

You could never hold on to anything,

not even a true smile

and you had the world, the whole world

in your hands.

You squandered it all away, even love

you let slip through your hands,

your wasteful hands.

You could never hold on to anything,

not even a true friend.

You had so much and always gave

everything to nobody.

You squandered it all away, even my heart

you let slip through your hands,

your wasteful hands.

Now you know

there’s no turning back

and I’m not who I used to be.

Stop thinking of me, it’s pointless.

Now you cry, now you want

a little bit of true love,

a little bit of love for your heart,

so lonely and broken.

There’s no one to give you a flower,

and no one to hold your hands,

your wasteful hands.
