Seduto in quel caffè
Sitting in that café
Io non pensavo a te
I wasn't thinking of you
Guardavo il mondo che
I watched the world that
Girava intorno a me
Revolved around me
Poi d'improvviso lei sorrise
Then suddenly she smiled
E ancora prima di capire
And even before I understood
Mi trovai sottobraccio a lei
I found myself under her arm
Stretto come se non ci fosse che lei
Tight as if there was only her
Vedevo solo lei
I saw only her
E non pensavo a te
And I didn't think of you
E tutta la città
And the whole city
Correva incontro a noi
Was running towards us
Il buio ci trovò vicini
Darkness found us close
Un ristorante e poi
A restaurant and then
Di corsa a ballar sottobraccio a lei
Rushing to dance arm in arm with her
Stretto verso casa, abbracciato a lei
Tight towards home, embraced with her
Quasi come se non ci fosse che
Almost as if there was nothing but
Quasi come se non ci fosse che lei
Almost as if there was nothing but her
Quasi come se non ci fosse che lei
Almost as if there was nothing but her
Come se non ci fosse che lei
As if there was nothing but her
Mi son svegliato e
I woke up and
E sto pensando a te
I'm thinking of you
Ricordo solo che
I only remember that
Che ieri non eri con me
That yesterday you weren't with me
Il sole ha cancellato tutto
The sun erased everything
Di colpo volo giù dal letto
Suddenly I fly down from bed
E corro lì al telefono
And I run to the phone
Parlo, rido e tu, tu non sai perché
I talk, I laugh and you, you don’t know why
T'amo, t'amo e tu, tu non sai perché
I love you, I love you and you, you don’t know why
Parlo, rido e tu, tu non sai perché
I talk, I laugh and you, you don’t know why
T'amo, t'amo e tu, tu non sai perché
I love you, I love you and you, you don't know why
Parlo, rido e tu, tu non sai perché
I talk, I laugh and you, you don't know why
T'amo, t'amo e tu, tu non sai perché
I love you, I love you and you, you don't know why
