Vierno [English translation]

It's winter, it rains and rains for a week

and this water keeps me a lot more sad.

That cold, when evening comes, that comes over me,

with this air and snow now that you're not here.

This fever that, not even her leaves me alone,

this fever on me that doesn't ever let go.

Winter,

how cold inside this heart

and only you who can give it warmth,

you stay away and you don't let yourself be seen,

you stay away and you don't care about me.

Here, mother lights the fire every evening

in this cold and dark little room.

But what do you light it for, my dear old one,

if I do not warm up not even in your arms.

My poor old one! She scares me!

Is a shadow that moves around me.

Winter,

how cold inside this heart

and only you who can give it warmth,

you stay away and you don't let yourself be seen,

you stay away and you don't, and you don't care,

and you don't care about me.
