Quando te ne vai [English translation]

Why you ask me why

I realise your importance when you go

And first where was I what did I do before

I didn't even realise how close it was

That feeling everywhere I go take that inside with me

At times I think what will you leave when you go

People you have met and will not see again

This all doesn't make sense and all that I

can do is

Make myself realise how immense it is

Everything that happens around us and circles us

Everything that hits us and what doesn't sink us

I look out and far away from shore to shore

The one who has left never forgets

Someone will then return to say hello

And everything seems like a time for a minute

Chorus: It remains a void every time that you go

I ask where you are and where you will ever be

If we ever think if where you are you ok

If everything runs smoothly without too many penalties

You're not here where are you I can't find you

If you leave I'll be left alone again

It doesn't frighten me it doesn't scare me

I'll take it like my next adventure

I'll break through the walls of an imaginary prison

You don't see it but it makes you lose breath

Hope as the only victory

Without a bit of cuts and wounds there's no glory

Rests in my memory is

Every extraordinary word

It's always here and a part of my story

Now I stop I look at the sky and think

I salute everyone I've lost

Goodbye everyone we'll see eachother sooner or later

You have the honest, most dearest and most bastards

This is for all of you

That are not with us

For all those far from here on

Want it or not you might not see them again

I realise your importance when you go

Chorus: why you ask me why

It remains a void every time that you go why

I ask why

It remains a void every time you leave

It remains a void every time you leave

I ask where you are and where you will be

If we ever think if where you are you ok

If everything runs smoothly without too many penalties
