Resto da sola
I stay alone
Con il sapore dell'amaro sulla bocca
With the taste of bitterness on my lips
L'amore è cieco, ma poi ci ha visti n'atra vota
Love is blind, but then it saw us again
Andare via e poi dirci addio
Going away and then saying goodbye
Per colpa di quelle promesse, sempre
Because of those promises, always
Per tutte le mie sigarette spente
For all my extinguished cigarettes
Per i miei modi un po' da prepotente
For my ways, a bit of a bully
E per questa gelosia
And for this jealousy
Sola e innamorata
Alone and in love
È una guerra fredda tutta questa sceneggiata
It's a cold war, all this charade
Siamo cause perse, siamo rum e cioccolata
We are lost causes, we are rum and chocolate
Sai che se ritorni io non so mandarti via
You know that if you return, I can't send you away
Así te amo porque no sé amar de otra manera
That's how I love you, because I don’t know how to love any other way
Así te quiero amar para la vida entera
That's how I want to love you for life
Porque tú eres la luz de la luna llena
Because you are the light of the full moon
Sobre cada ciudad, tú eres la primavera
Over every city, you are the spring
Io sugnu stanca delle tue sentenze
I am tired of your judgments
Mi dici: "Ti amo" e non ti fidi di niente
You tell me: 'I love you' and you don't trust anything
Volevo la tua voce seducente
I wanted your seductive voice
E non tutta 'sta camurria
And not all this nonsense
Per la distanza che ci pesa forte sul petto, io te l'ho detto
For the distance that weighs heavily on our chests, I told you so
L'unico modo per vivere bene è dormire nello stesso letto
The only way to live well is to sleep in the same bed
Ma tu perdi la tua pazienza come io perdo le partite a calcetto
But you lose your patience just as I lose my matches at five-a-side football
Se non ti calmi finisce che buttiamo tutto via al vento, juro lo siento
If you don’t calm down, we’ll end up throwing everything away to the wind, I swear I’m sorry
Sola e innamorata
Alone and in love
È una guerra fredda tutta questa sceneggiata
It's a cold war, all this drama
Siamo cause perse, siamo rum e cioccolata
We’re lost causes, we’re rum and chocolate
Sai che se ritorni io non so mandarti via
You know that if you come back, I won’t know how to let you go
Así te amo porque no sé amar de otra manera
This is how I love you because I don’t know how to love any other way
Así te quiero amar para la vida entera
This is how I want to love you for a lifetime
Porque tú eres la luz de la luna llena
Because you are the light of the full moon
Sobre cada ciudad, tú eres la primavera
Over every city, you are the springtime
La-la-la-la-lai-la
La-la-la-la-lai-la
La-la-la-la-lai-la
La-la-la-la-lai-la
La-la-la-la-lai-la
La-la-la-la-lai-la
La-la-la-la-lai-la (io e te, rum e cioccolata)
La-la-la-la-lai-la (you and me, rum and chocolate)
Sola e innamorata
Alone and in love
È una guerra fredda tutta questa sceneggiata
It's a cold war, all this charade
Siamo cause perse, siamo rum e cioccolata
We are lost causes, we are rum and chocolate
Sai che se ritorni io non so mandarti via
You know that if you return, I can't send you away
Así te amo porque no sé amar de otra manera
This is how I love you for I know no other way
Así te quiero amar para la vida entera (sola e innamorata)
This is how I want to love you for all my days (alone and in love)
Porque tú eres la luz de la luna llena
Because you are the light of the full moon
Sobre cada ciudad, tú eres la primavera
Over every city, you are the springtime
