Innocenza selvaggia [English translation]

You were mine

only mine, mine, mine

when alone in silence you'd

wait for me hours and hours

You were mine

only mine, mine, mine

when before you had me

you'd dream with your hands

You were mine

only mine, mine, mine

when only a glance would be enough

and you were as though kidnapped

You were mine

only mine, mine, mine

until that day when you

rediscovered life

(2x:)

Even though I wasn't the first man

From girl to woman I transformed you

Chance intuitions, made-up decisions

wild innocence, I tamed

You were mine

only mine, mine, mine

when you still were a verse

that easily rhymed.

You were mine

only mine, mine, mine

when being without money

deep within it didn't matter to you.

You were mine

only mine, mine, mine

when you'd give me the strength

to go on always to fight.

You were mine

only mine, mine, mine

when us two would stay

for whole nights talking

(2x)

Whoever cheats in silence if afterwards he doesn't have a reason

at the showdown has hurt himself

always uninspired in the changing tide

wild innocence, I tamed
