È facile per me vederti ancora
It's easy for me to see you again
Accanto ai nostri fiori e al nostro vino
Next to our flowers and our wine
Le labbra un po' socchiuse
Lips slightly parted
E un'aria troppo ingenua
And a too innocent air
è facile per me pensare che eri strana
It's easy for me to think you were strange
E che te ne sei andata
And that you left
Perché l'ho voluto io
Because I wanted it
Ma dove sei stanotte amore mio
But where are you tonight, my love?
Ho visto un grande ponte
I saw a great bridge
In riva a un grande mare
By the shore of a vast sea
Se uno lo attraversa
If one crosses it
Non può più ritornare
They can't come back anymore
Un cieco mi ha strillato di averti vista lì
A blind man shouted he saw you there
Ma io non posso credere che fossi proprio tu
But I can't believe it was really you
Dobbiamo bere ancora
We need to drink again
Insieme tu ed io
Together, you and I
Ma dove sei stanotte amore mio
But where are you tonight, my love
Seduto a un'osteria
Sitting in a tavern
Un efebo sospetto
A suspicious young man
Beveva vino rosso sporcandosi il colletto
Was drinking red wine, staining his collar
Poi mi hanno confidato
Then they confided in me
Che era Rodolfo Valentino
That it was Rudolph Valentino
Che voleva ritrovarti ubriacandosi di vino
Who wanted to find you by drowning in wine
Ma l'han buttato fuori
But they threw him out
Perché non credeva in Dio
Because he didn't believe in God
Ma dove sei stanotte amore mio
But where are you tonight my love
