Se tu sei con me
If you are with me
Non so dire perché
I can't say why
In me sento il cuore tremar
In me, I feel my heart tremble
È forse perché
Is it maybe because
Ho paura di te
I'm afraid of you
Ho paura di starti vicin
I'm afraid to be close to you
Io ti vorrei baciar
I would like to kiss you
Ma poi non so parlar
But then I don't know how to speak
So che di te vivrò
I know that I will live for you
E so che a nessuno il mio cuor darò
And I know that to no one will I give my heart
Ma dimmelo tu
But tell me, will you
Cos'è questo mistero
What is this mystery
Perché debba tremare il mio cuor
Why my heart must tremble
E dimmi perché
And tell me why
Ho paura di te
I'm afraid of you
Ho paura di starti vicin
I'm afraid to be close to you
Io ti vorrei baciar
I would like to kiss you
Ma poi no, non so parlar
But then no, I don't know how to speak
So che di te vivrò
I know that for you I will live
E so che a nessuno il mio cuor darò
And I know that to no one will I give my heart
Ma dimmelo tu
But tell me you
Cos'è questo mistero
What is this mystery
Perché debba tremare il mio cuor
Why my heart must tremble
E dimmi perché
And tell me why
Ho paura di te
I'm afraid of you
Ho paura
I'm afraid
Paura di te
Afraid of you
Di te
Of you
