Cubetti di ghiaccio tintinnano
Ice cubes clink
nei bicchieri che si appannano
in glasses that fog up
ti guardo negli occhi
I look into your eyes
un bacio prometti
a kiss you promise
voglio whysky cubetti cubetti
I want whiskey, cubes, cubes
cubetti di ghiaccio si velano
ice cubes become hazy
d'una nebbiolina candida
with a white mist
mi porgi le labbra
you offer me your lips
ti sfioro le mani
I brush your hands
domani domani chissa'
tomorrow, tomorrow, who knows
domani con il sole dell'alba
tomorrow with the sunrise
questa notte un ricordo sara'
tonight a memory will become
cubetti di ghiaccio tintinnano
ice cubes clink
nei bicchieri che si appannano
in the glasses that fog up
un sorso gelato
a frozen sip
non spegne nel cuore
doesn't extinguish in the heart
la febbre bruciante d'un bacio d'amor
the burning fever of a kiss of love
domani con il sole dell'alba
tomorrow with the sunrise
questa notte un ricordo sara'
tonight a memory will become
cubetti di ghiaccio tintinnano
ice cubes clink
nei bicchieri che si appannano
in the glasses that fog up
un sorso gelato
a frozen sip
non spegne nel cuore
doesn't extinguish in the heart
la febbre bruciante d'un bacio d'amor
the burning fever of a love's kiss
