Jane non ne poteva più
Jane could take it no more
Restava sempre sola
She was always left alone
Così che per ore, ore e ore non parlava mai
So for hours, hours and hours she would never speak
Jane dimmi cos'hai
Jane tell me what you have
Dimmi che cos'hai
Tell me what you have
Jane conosco la tua età
Jane I know your age
Conosco i tuoi silenzi
I know your silences
I falsi movimenti e le parole che non arrivano mai
The false moves and the words that never come
Non pensare più
Don't think anymore
Non buttarti giù
Don't let yourself down
Non buttarti giù
Don't let yourself down
Sarebbe bello poterti toccare
It would be nice to touch you
Guardarti negli occhi, fermarci a parlare
Look into your eyes, stop to talk
Prendere in mano il tuo piccolo cuore
Take your little heart in my hands
Tenerlo lontano dal bene e dal male
Keep it away from good and bad
Ma cuore di Gesù
But heart of Jesus
Come batte forte
How strongly it beats
Non si ferma più
It never stops now
Ah-ah (ah-ah)
Jane i ragazzi come te sono misteriosi
Jane, boys like you are mysterious
A volte tristi, delicati o anche forti, curiosi
Sometimes sad, delicate or even strong, curious
Ma sempre innamorati
But always in love
Così innamorati
So in love
Tanto innamorati
So very in love
Da non poterne più
That we can't take it anymore
Sarebbe bello poterli toccare
It would be beautiful to be able to touch them
Guardarli negli occhi, fermarsi a parlare
To look into their eyes, stop to talk
Prendere in mano il loro piccolo cuore
To hold their little heart in hand
Tenerlo lontano dal bene e dal male
To keep it away from good and evil
Ma cuore di Gesù
But heart of Jesus
Senza stringerlo forte
Without holding it tight
Sennò non batte più
Otherwise it won't beat again
Senza stringerlo forte
Without holding it tight
Sennò non batte più
Otherwise it won't beat again
Uh-uh, ah
