Se è stato lui a bruciare i sogni in te
If it was him who burned the dreams inside you
Mandalo via e al suo posto metti me
Send him away and put me in his place
Dolce Susanna
Sweet Susanna
Perché stai sola?
Why are you alone?
Da tanti giorni non vai più a scuola
It's been so many days since you went to school
E sul quaderno stai disegnando un cuore trafitto
And in your notebook, you're drawing a pierced heart
Chi è, che ti sta ingannando?
Who is it that is deceiving you?
Dolce Susanna
Sweet Susanna
Il primo amore
The first love
Non è mai quello
Is never the same
Che tu non vuole
That you don't want
Di lui mi parli
You talk to me about him
Per lui è il tuo pianto
For him, it's your crying
E intanto fai piangere me
And in the meantime, you make me cry
Che ti amo tanto, se è lui
That I love you so much, if it's him
A bruciare i sogni in te
Burning the dreams inside you
Mandalo via
Send him away
E al suo posto metti me, metti me
And put me in his place, put me
Dolce Susanna
Sweet Susanna
Non sei già donna
Aren't you already a woman?
Come una donna
Like a woman
Stai già sbagliando
You're already making a mistake
Soffri in silenzio
Suffer in silence
Col cuore infranto
With a broken heart
E senza pietà tratti
And without mercy you treat
Chi, chi ti ama tanto
Who, who loves you so much
Bene Susanna
Goodbye Susanna
Farò la parte
I'll play the part
Del vero amico
Of a true friend
Che ti comprende
Who understands you
E tu un bel giorno
And one beautiful day
Tra un mese o tra un anno
In a month or in a year
A tutti gli amici dirò
To all my friends I will tell
La mia Susanna
My Susanna
La mia Susanna
My Susanna
La mia Susanna
My Susanna
