[English]

Love, stay

Don't leave tonight

An orchestra among the clouds

Your song will play

...

Love, kiss me

We're alone, love, kiss me

Maybe it's because of the music

But I've never loved you like this

...

The sea, the sea

Tonight belongs to us

The moon in your eyes

Tonight makes me dream

Love, stay

Stay close and caress me

Maybe it's because of the music

But I've never loved you like this

...

Love, stay

Stay close and caress me

Maybe it's because of the music

But I've never loved you like this

But I've never loved you like this

But I've never loved you like this

But I've never loved you...

...

[Italian]

Amore, fermati

Questa sera non andartene

Un'orchestra tra le nuvole

La tua canzone suonerà

Amore, baciami

Siamo soli, amore, baciami

Forse è colpa della musica

Ma non t'ho amato mai così

Il mar, il mar

Stasera appartiene a noi

La luna negli occhi tuoi

Stasera mi fa sognar

Amore, fermati

Sta' vicino ed accarezzami

Forse è colpa della musica

Ma non t'ho amato mai così

Amore, fermati

Sta' vicino ed accarezzami

Forse è colpa della musica

Ma non t'ho amato mai così

Ma non t'ho amato mai così

Ma non t'ho amato mai così

Ma non t'ho amato mai...
