Se mai ti parlassero di me [English translation]

If ever

they told you about me,

who knows whether, in the end,

you will find

a smile for me.

Even though

for far too long now there has been

silence between us,

I think of you still, you know.

Whatever else

they told you about me,

I hope you will recall

what

I was to you.

Even though

you suffered as much as me,

I hope you will be able

to smile for me—

if ever.

Even though

you suffered as much as me,

I hope you will be able

to smile for me—

if ever.
