Non respiro [English translation]

Forget all that I said

With you I'll do the same

Raise those eyes 'cause for some time

You haven't even looked at me

Truth only belongs to the man who over time1

Can weigh it with a scale with the wrong

Imagine if time went on

But in the opposite direction

First I love you, then I court you

First I kiss you, then I don't know you

And tell me if you're at least thinking about me

I often do it, I can't lie

Say it to my face without wasting time

Think about yourself, not about me

But don't let yourself to be consumed by pride

Not letting me go is of no use

Hold me in one of our embraces

That don't need any words

I can't breath without you

I'm lonely without you

I still keep that picture

In which I'm laughing and you're pouting

And that wooden box

Where you kept everything

I didn't understand the meaning

Or the importance of that gesture

But I'd want to open them one

By one and to touch each memory

Imagine if time went on

But in the opposite direction

First I love you, then I court you

First I kiss you, then I don't know you

And tell me if you're at least thinking about me

I often do it, I can't lie

Say it to my face without wasting time

Think about yourself, not about me

But don't let yourself to be consumed by pride

Not letting me go is of no use

Hold me in one of our embraces

That don't need any words

I can't breath without you

I'm lonely without you

And tell me if you're at least thinking about me

I often do it, I can't lie

Say it to my face without wasting time

Think about yourself, not about me

But don't let yourself to be consumed by pride

Not letting me go is of no use

Hold me in one of our embraces

That don't need any words

I can't breath without you

I'm lonely without you
