Con i fiori alla mia porta, con la faccia che tu hai
With flowers at my door, with the face that you have
Quasi certo mi hai tradito o domani tradirai
I'm almost certain you betrayed me or you'll betray tomorrow
Perché so che le poesie non le leggi e non le fai
Because I know that you don't read poems and you don't write them
Tanto meno tenerezze non ne vuoi, non ne dai
Much less do you want tenderness, nor do you give any
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Come un allarme nella mente mia
Like an alarm in my mind
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Non so se amarti o se buttarti via
I don't know whether to love you or to throw you away
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Come un allarme nella mente mia
Like an alarm in my mind
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Tanto peggio per te
Too bad for you
Con impegni di lavoro che lavoro non è mai
With work commitments that never feel like work
Tutti i fine settimana o sei stanco o non ci sei
Every weekend either you're tired or you’re not around
Quando arrivi in piena notte al mattino te ne vai
When you arrive in the middle of the night, by morning you’re gone
Se io cerco la tua mano non ti va, non ti va
If I reach for your hand, you don’t want it, you don’t want it
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Come un allarme nella mente mia
Like an alarm in my mind
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Non so se amarti o se buttarti via
I don’t know whether to love you or throw you away
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Come un allarme nella mente mia
Like an alarm in my mind
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Tanto peggio per te
Too bad for you
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Come un allarme nella mente mia
Like an alarm in my mind
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Non so se amarti o se buttarti via
I don't know whether to love you or throw you away
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Non so per quanto sarò ancora tua
I don't know how much longer I'll still be yours
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Sento ancora quel drin, drin, drin
I still hear that ding, ding, ding
Tanto peggio per te
So much worse for you
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Sento ancora quel drin, drin, drin
I still hear that ding, ding, ding
Tanto peggio per te
So much worse for you
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Drin, drin, drin
Ding, ding, ding
Sento ancora quel drin, drin, drin
I still hear that ding, ding, ding
Tanto peggio per te
Too bad for you
