Io innamorata, pare di sì
I in love, it seems so
Diversamente non sarei così
Otherwise I wouldn't be this way
E nel pensare a te
And in thinking of you
Non mi abbandonerei
I wouldn't let go
Al filo di una corrente
To the thread of a current
Che non approda a niente
That leads to nothing
Io innamorata, pare di sì
I in love, it seems so
Per esperienza posso dir così
From experience I can say this
Ma l'esperienza, ahimé
But experience, alas
Non mi può dire se
Can't tell me if
È giusto o no legarmi a te
Is it right or wrong to tie myself to you
Un grande amore
A great love
Non ha mai perché
Never has a reason
E nasce e muore
It’s born and it dies
Quando nasce e muore
When it’s born and it dies
È la tua storia
It’s your story
Quando tocca a te
When it’s your turn
La reciti e la vivi
You perform it and you live it
Però non te la scrivi
But you don’t write it yourself
Io innamorata, pare di sì
I, in love, seems so
Questa è la realtà
This is the reality
Come finirà vedremo
How it will end, we'll see
