Se mi vuoi bene [English translation]

If you love me, then why

am I not sure about you?

If your love is such

that you make demands,

perhaps it is a love that

I will never understand.

But one who loves as I do,

who gives you her most beautiful days—

And if she has a smile,

she gives it to you

while sorrow, you know,

she keeps to herself

who loves you so.

Love is always like this

and never lives

in words that

sooner or later

are forgotten.

If you love me, then why

am I not sure about you?

I search to understand

where I went wrong but

how long will I love?

I will never know.

But where I went wrong, I don't know—
