Come prima tu me donnes tant de joie
Like before, you give me so much joy
Que personne ne m'en donne comme toi
No one gives me like you do
C'est ta bouche qui m'apporte ma joie de vivre
It's your lips that bring me my zest for life
Et ma chance, c'est de vivre rien que pour toi
And my luck is to live only for you
Que m'importe si tu m'aimes moins que moi
What does it matter if you love me less than I do?
Moi je t'aime comme on aime qu'une fois
I love you like one loves just once
Et je reste prisonnière, prisonnière de tes bras
And I remain a prisoner, a prisoner in your arms
Come Prima tu me donnes tant de joie
Like before, you give me so much joy
La notte come alora magica scende
The night descends, magical like back then
La luna splende e tu sei qui
The moon shines and you are here
Mi sento un pò' confuso non se capire
I feel a bit confused, don't know if I understand
E ti so di re solo cosi
And I only know you as a king like this
Come prima piu di prima t'amerò
Like before, more than before, I will love you
Per la vita, la mia vita ti darò
For life, I will give you my life
Sembra un sogno riverderti accarezzarti
It feels like a dream to see you again, to caress you
Le tue mani fra le mie mani stringere ancor'
Your hands in my hands, holding tight once more
Come prima tu me donnes chaque jour
Like before, you give me each day
Come prima tu me donnes tant d'amour
Like before, you give me so much love
Que j'espère te le rendre
That I hope to give it back to you
Quand heureuse dans tes bras
When happy in your arms
Come prima tu me donnes
Like before, you give me
Come prima tant de joie
Like before, so much joy
