E da chi
And from whom
E da chi
And from whom
Proibito che ti amassi
It's forbidden for me to love you
E proibito ti vedessi
It's forbidden for me to see you
Proibirono chiedessi
They forbade me to ask
O mi parlassero di te
Or to speak to me about you
Proibiscano di più
They prohibit even more
Gettando in viso le parole
Throwing words in my face
Una volta che ho deciso
Once I've made my decision
Mi faranno fermare da chi?
Who will make me stop?
Da te la nuova forza nascerà
From you, the new strength will arise
Più disperatamente in me
More desperately within me
La proibiscano non aspetterò
They may forbid it, I won't wait
Che te
But you
Soltanto te
Only you
Per sempre te
Forever you
Proibito che ti amassi
Forbidden for me to love you
E proibito ti vedessi
And forbidden for me to see you
Proibirono chiedessi
They forbade me to ask
O mi parlassero di te
Or to speak of you
Proibiscano di più
Let them prohibit even more
Gettando in viso le parole
Throwing words in my face
Una volta che ho deciso
Once I've made my choice
Mi faranno fermare da chi
They'll make me stop by who
Da te la nuova forza nascerà
From you, the new strength will rise
Più disperatamente in me
More desperately within me
La proibiscano non aspetterò
Let them prohibit it, I won't wait
Che te
But you
Soltanto te
Only you
Per sempre te
Forever you
Soltanto te
Only you
Per sempre te
Forever you
Soltanto te
Only you
Per sempre te...
Forever you...
