Stan cantando, stanno ballando
They're singing, they're dancing
Su di sopra sono già le tre.
Upstairs it's already three.
Io qui dentro fumo e sto in silenzio
I'm here smoking and sitting in silence
Tanto ormai nessuno pensa a me.
After all, no one thinks of me anymore.
Fino a ieri era tra di loro
Until yesterday, I was among them
è tra loro che trovavi Sylvie
It's among them that you found Sylvie
Oh Sylvie, Sylvie
La scena è la stessa ma tu non sei qui.
The scene is the same but you're not here.
Oh Sylvie Sylvie
Perché questa festa finisce così, così.
Why does this party end like this, like this.
Stan parlando, stanno ridendo
They're talking, they're laughing
Ma dov'è la voce di Sylvie?
But where is Sylvie's voice?
Basterebbe fare un po' di scale
It would be enough to do a few scales
Ma perché se là non c'è più lei?
But why is she no longer here?
Nella mente non rimane niente,
Nothing remains in my mind,
Solo un nome, il nome di Sylvie.
Only a name, the name of Sylvie.
Oh Sylvie Sylvie
La scena è la stessa ma tu non sei qui.
The scene is the same but you're not here.
Oh Sylvie Sylvie
Perché questa festa finisce così, così, così.
Why does this party end like this, like this, like this.
Oh Sylvie Sylvie
La scena è la stessa ma tu non sei qui.
The scene is the same but you're not here.
Oh Sylvie Sylvie
Perché questa festa finisce così
Why does this party end like this?
Oh Sylvie Sylvie
La scena è la stessa ma tu non sei qui.
The scene is the same but you're not here.
