Ti ho voluto bene veramente [English translation]

So I left for a long journey

Far away from the mistakes I made

I visited places

Just not to meet you again

And the further I went, the better I felt

It was snowing heavily but I kept walking

Sometimes I ignited a fire, and the cold made me thinking of you

Daydreaming on the ferry of a boat desk

I thought seeing your reflection on the sea surface

The lights of the harbour seemed distant

And I was feeling happy to make landfall

my face was changing, my beard was getting longer

I spent whole days in silence

And how I desired you to be there in those moments

Because I truly love you

Wherever I go you always come to my mind

I really wanted to have you with me

And to not be said that I can’t help it

I would have had more answers

If I had asked to you, it doesn’t matter, however

I cannot do it now, ‘cause you are gone

I would like to tell you that a journey changes a man

And that the starting point seems so far away by now

Destination is not a place but it’s what we feel

And we don’t know where nor when we reach it

I spent whole days in silence

I thought you were really distant

Oh, if we knew, before we leave, that the journey’s meaning is the destination and the inspiration

‘Cause I truly love you

And wherever I go, you come to my mind

I’d truly liked to have you with me

And to not be said that I can’t help it

I’d have found many more answers

If I had asked to you, it doesn’t matter, however

I cannot do it now ‘cause you are gone

I cannot do it now
