L'ora di piangere viene per tutti noi
The time to cry comes for us all
Quando l'amore se ne va
When love fades away
Avevo solo lei, era la vita mia
I only had her, she was my life
E l'ho lasciata andare via
And I let her slip away
Adesso io vorrei dimenticarla
Now I wish I could forget her
Ma non so, non so come potrò
But I don't know, I don't know how I will
Ricorda
Remember
Quel suo sorriso
That smile of hers
Ricorda
Remember
Le sue parole
Her words
Ricorda
Remember
Quelle sue mani
Those hands of hers
Ricorda
Remember
I suoi capelli
Her hair
Ricorda
Remember
Ma non serve perché
But it doesn't help because
Non serve perché, perché
It doesn't help because, because
L'ora di piangere viene per tutti noi
The time to cry comes for all of us
Quando l'amore se ne va
When love goes away
Adesso io vorrei dimenticarla ma
Now I would like to forget her but
Ma non so, non so come potrò
But I don't know, I don't know how I'll manage
Ricorda
Remember
Quel suo sorriso
That smile of hers
Ricorda
Remember
Le sue parole
Her words
Ricorda
Remember
Quelle sue mani
Those hands of hers
Ricorda
Remember
I suoi capelli
Her hair
Ricorda
Remember
Ma non serve perché
But it doesn't matter because
Non serve perché, perché
It doesn't matter because, because
L'ora di piangere viene per tutti noi
The hour of crying comes for all of us
Quando l'amore se ne va
When love goes away
Avevo solo lei, era la vita mia
I only had her, she was my life
E l'ho lasciata andare via
And I let her go away
L'ora di piangere viene per tutti noi
The hour of crying comes for all of us
Quando l'amore se ne va
When love goes away
