Io prima di te [English translation]

A suspended tear that didn’t want to fall,

a smile through clenched teeth -

this before you,before you.

I was snow at the equator, indecisiveness within me,

I had everything and I was nothing -

me, before you, before you.

I was a motionless flag that was waiting for the wind.

Like a sip of pure water that flows down the throat,

you still amaze me in everything that you do.

You still astonish me, just as when you weren’t mine,

like the first time. You don’t know this,

but I didn’t believe in it anymore… Me, before you -

I was angry, and I’m sorry for the fear that I have

of not being able to love better. Before you - Before you -

There was a kiss then, in mid-air, that was lost,

Like the first day of school, you

you still amaze me in everything that you do.

You still astonish me, just as when you weren’t mine,

like the first time. You don’t know this,

but I didn’t believe in it anymore… Me, before you -

Me, before you - Me, before you - Me, before you -

There was a kiss then, in mid-air, that you caught.

You still amaze me in everything that you do.

You still astonish me, just as when you weren’t mine,

like the first time. You don’t know this,

but I didn’t believe in it anymore… Me, before you -
