Vorrei che tu avessi un nuovo ragazzo
I wish you had a new boyfriend
Vorrei che ti trattasse bene
I wish he would treat you well
Che ti facesse sentire importante
Make you feel important
E che ti bolle il sangue nelle vene
And that your blood boils in your veins
Quando ti aspetterà sotto il portone
When he waits for you under the door
Per fare un giro, magari a cena
To take a ride, maybe for dinner
Mi piacerebbe che tu toccassi il cielo
I would love for you to touch the sky
Quando di notte ti bacia la schiena
When he kisses your back at night
Che ti parlasse dei suoi problemi
That he would talk to you about his problems
E che non li tenesse tutti per sé come me
And not keep them all to himself like me
Vorrei vedervi magari sposati
I would like to see you maybe married,
E che lui stesse sempre con te
And that he would always be with you.
Non ti facesse incazzare mai
That he would never make you angry.
Che non dimentichi i compleanni
That he wouldn't forget the birthdays.
Che sia simpatico ai tuoi genitori
That he's kind to your parents.
E che li faccia diventare nonni
And that he makes them grandparents.
Ma quando un giorno sarai lontana
But when one day you will be far away,
E vedrai il cielo quando si colora
And you'll see the sky when it turns colorful,
Pensami almeno per un momento
Think of me at least for a moment,
Pensami almeno per mezz'ora
Think of me at least for half an hour.
Vorrei sapere come ti va, eh?
I'd like to know how you're doing, eh?
Ora che non stiamo più insieme
Now that we're not together anymore
Che mi hanno detto che hai sofferto un po'
They told me that you suffered a bit
Che però ora stai bene
But now you're doing well
Certo, all'inizio tutto era pazzesco
Of course, at first everything was crazy
Non smettevamo mai di stare a letto, cacchio
We never stopped being in bed, damn
Di combinarne di porcherie, eh
Getting up to all sorts of mischief, eh
E guarda ora, chi l'avrebbe detto
And look now, who would have thought
Esco di casa alle tre di notte
I leave the house at three in the morning
Con quattro amici ce ne andiamo a caccia
With four friends, we're off hunting
Per rimediare un amore facile
To make up for an easy love
Che il giorno dopo non ricordo la faccia
That the next day I can't recall your face
Ma quando un giorno sarai lontana
But when one day you'll be far away
E vedrai il cielo quando si colora
And you'll see the sky when it starts to glow
Pensami almeno per un momento
Think of me at least for a moment
Pensami almeno per mezz'ora
Think of me at least for half an hour
E quando son qui dentro al mio letto vuoto
And when I'm here alone in my empty bed
Vorrei dormire e non è facile
I wish I could sleep and it's not easy
Quando non sai se sia possibile
When you don't know if it's even possible
Innamorarsi e non lasciarsi mai
To fall in love and never let go
Ma quando un giorno sarai lontana
But when one day you are far away
E vedrai il cielo quando si colora
And you'll see the sky when it colors
Pensami almeno per un momento
Think of me at least for a moment
Pensami almeno per mezz'ora
Think of me at least for half an hour
Ma quando un giorno sarai lontana
But when one day you are far away
E vedrai il cielo quando si colora
And you'll see the sky when it colors
Pensami almeno per un momento
Think of me at least for a moment
Pensami almeno per mezz'ora
Think of me at least for half an hour
