Il tempo è già passato
Time has already passed
Però non ho scordato
But I haven't forgotten
L'amore mio per Joe
My love for Joe
Quando era militare
When he was in the military
Vedendolo passare
Seeing him walk by
Io sempre gli cantavo così
I always sang to him like this
Se passi guardami, soldato Joe
If you pass by, look at me, soldier Joe
Se tu mi guardi penserò soltanto a te
If you look at me, I'll think only of you
Saran brevissimi, soldato Joe
They'll be very brief, soldier Joe
Diciotto mesi se li passi insieme a me
Eighteen months if you spend them with me
Mi devi credere, soldato Joe
You have to believe me, soldier Joe
Non c'è nessuno che mi piaccia più di te
There's no one I like more than you
Mi piaci Joe, Joe, non dimenticar
I like you Joe, Joe, don't forget
Se passi guardami
If you pass by, look at me
Se passi guardami
If you pass by, look at me
Se passi guardami, soldato Joe
If you pass by, look at me, soldier Joe
Se passi guardami, soldato Joe
If you pass by, look at me, soldier Joe
Se tu mi guardi penserò soltanto a te
If you look at me, I'll only think of you
Saran brevissimi, soldato Joe
They'll be very brief, soldier Joe
Diciotto mesi se li passi insieme a me
Eighteen months if you spend them with me
Mi devi credere, soldato Joe
You have to believe me, soldier Joe
Non c'è nessuno che mi piaccia più di te
There's no one I like more than you
Mi piaci Joe, Joe, non dimenticar
I like you Joe, Joe, don't forget
Se passi guardami
If you pass by, look at me
Se passi guardami
If you pass by, look at me
Se passi guardami, soldato Joe
If you pass by, look at me, soldier Joe
