Io sto già tremando d'amore
I'm already trembling with love
Lei viene qui questa sera
She’s coming here this evening
È solo una questione di ore
It's just a matter of hours
Spero di non morire
I hope I don't die
Vedendola entrare
Seeing her walk in
Potremo restare soli
We could be alone together
Ho messo il vino nel frigo
I've put the wine in the fridge
Cuoce sul fuoco il sugo
The sauce is simmering on the stove
Il macellaio dovrebbe arrivare
The butcher should be arriving
Dovrebbe portare bistecche e caviale
He should bring steaks and caviar
Ma un dubbio mi assale
But a doubt overwhelms me
Lei verrà o non verrà
Will she come or won’t she come
Lei verrà o non verrà
Will she come or won’t she come
Non verrà, non verrà, non verrà, non verrà
She won’t come, she won’t come, she won’t come, she won’t come
Non verrà, non verrà, non verrà, non verrà
She won’t come, she won’t come, she won’t come, she won’t come
Dio mio no, Dio mio no
My God, no, my God, no
Dimmi solo che verrà
Just tell me she will come
Dio mio no
My God, no
Dimmi solo che verrà, Dio mio no
Just tell me she will come, my God, no
Le voglio sfiorare i capelli
I want to touch her hair
Col respiro del mio cuore
With the breath of my heart
Le voglio accarezzare le mani
I want to caress her hands
Con sguardi leggeri
With gentle gazes
Con frasi d'amore
With words of love
D'amore
Of love
D'amore
Of love
Il campanello grida ti amo
The bell screams I love you
Apro e stringo già la sua mano
I open and already hold her hand
Poi la guardo mentre cammina
Then I watch her as she walks
Mentre siede vicina
While she sits nearby
Intanto che mangia di gusto
Meanwhile, as he enjoys his meal
La carne, il caviale ed il resto
The meat, the caviar, and the rest
Dopo avere mangiato la frutta
After having eaten the fruit
Si alza e chiede dove c'è il letto
He gets up and asks where the bed is
Poi scompare dietro la porta
Then he disappears behind the door
La sento mi chiama
I hear her calling me
La vedo in pigiama
I see her in her pajamas
E lei si avvicina e lei si avvicina
And she gets closer and she gets closer
Vicina, vicina, vicina, vicina
Close, close, close, close
Dio mio no, Dio mio no
My God, no, my God, no
Cosa fai, che cosa fai
What are you doing, what are you doing
Dio mio no, Dio mio no
My God no, my God no
Cosa fai che cosa fai
What are you doing, what are you doing
