Chi l'ha detto che si deve dire la verità
Who said that you have to tell the truth
Per far sapere cosa vuoi
To let you know what you want
Si può non dire niente
You can choose to say nothing
Far sapere niente
Letting nothing be known
Lasciare stare tutto, che tutto vada come va
Leaving it all be, let everything go as it goes
Se io ti dessi ascolto sarei finito morto
If I listened to you, I’d be dead for sure
Poi non mi credi, non mi credi
Then you wouldn't believe me, you wouldn't believe me
Se non dico quel che pare a te
If I don't say what seems right to you
Ridi sai, ridi sai
Laugh you know, laugh you know
Io lo so cos'è che provi
I know what it is that you feel
Adesso che parlo, vedi ti commuovi ah ha
Now that I'm speaking, you see, you get emotional, ah ha
Non volevo farti male
I didn't want to hurt you
Ma adesso tu lo fai a me
But now you're doing it to me
Ridi sai, ridi sai
Laugh, you know, laugh, you know
Se non capisci sei proprio cieca
If you don't understand, you're really blind
Vuoi farmi morire proprio questa sera, ah
You want to make me die right this evening, ah
Scusami tanto se ho solo te
I'm so sorry if I only have you
Che cosa vado a cercando? Ho solo te
What am I looking for? I only have you
Se giuro il falso ogni tanto ma che male c'è?
If I sometimes swear falsely, what's the harm in that?
Il vero inferno sai, è non perdonarsi mai
The true hell, you know, is never forgiving oneself
Almeno parliamone se vuoi
At least let's talk about it if you want
Questo mondo non mi piace, niente è la verità
This world doesn't please me, nothing is the truth
Tu puoi pensarla come vuoi
You can think what you want
Ma non abbiamo in mano niente
But we have nothing in our hands
Non ci rimane niente
We have nothing left
La gente non ci pensa ma son sicuro che lo sa
People don’t think about it but I'm sure they know
A volte anch'io mi sento solo, perso
Sometimes I too feel lonely, lost
Non ci penso oppure spero che prima o poi qualcosa cambierà
I don't think about it or I hope that sooner or later something will change
Ridi sai, ridi sai
Laugh, you know, laugh, you know
Ma non capisci quello che sento
But you don’t understand what I feel
Ed è per questo che a volte mi invento ah ah
And that's why sometimes I make things up, ah ah
Tante storie, tante facce che magari non si vedranno mai
So many stories, so many faces that may never be seen
Ma chissa perché, ma chissà perché
But who knows why, but who knows why
Sarà forse la mia debolezza
Could it be my weakness, perhaps
Sarà magari la certezza
Maybe it's the certainty
In ogni momento di avere te
In every moment of having you
Scusami tanto ma ho solo te
I'm so sorry, but I only have you
Che cosa vado a cercando che ho solo te?
What am I looking for when I have only you?
E se non vuoi
And if you don't want
Non perdonarmi mai
Don't ever forgive me
Almeno parliamone se vuoi
At least let's talk about it if you want
Scusami tanto ma ho solo te
I'm so sorry but I only have you
Che cosa vado cercando? Ho solo te
What am I even searching for? I only have you
Anche in questo momento ho solo te
Even in this moment, I only have you
Il vero inferno sai, è non perdonarsi mai
The real hell, you know, is never forgiving yourself
Almeno, almeno, almeno, uh uh
At least, at least, at least, uh uh
