Come saprei

How I would know

Capire l'uomo che sei

how to understand the man you are

Come saprei scoprire poi

How I would discover then

Le fantasie che vuoi

the fantasies you want

Io ci arriverei

I could reach them

Nel profondo, dentro te

deep inside you

Nei silenzi tuoi

In your silences

Emozionando sempre più

always more emotionally

Come saprei

How I would know

Stupire l'uomo che sei

how to surprise the man you are

Quando stai lì e non sai

When you're there and you don't know

Che voli prendere

which way to take

Come saprei

How I would know

Richiamare gli occhi tuoi

to bring back your eyes

Incollarli ai miei

to hold them to mine

Emozionando sempre più

always more emotionally

Nel mondo che solitudini ci dà

In a world where loneliness gives us

Perché non resti un po' con me?

why don't you stay with me for a while?

Come saprei amarti io

How I would know how to love you

Nessuno saprebbe mai

no one ever could

Come saprei riuscirci io

how I would manage to do it

Ancora non lo sai

you don't know yet

Io ci metterò

I'll put all my soul into it

Tutta l'anima che ho

all the life you have to live now

Quanta vita sei da vivere adesso

How much life you still have to live

Come saprei

How I would know

Io vorrei che fosse già pelle

I wish it was already flesh and bone

Il contatto che c'è

the touch that exists

Io vorrei che fossero stelle

I wish they were stars

Ogni volta con te

every time with you

Come saprei amarti io

How I would love to love you

Nessuno saprebbe mai

no one ever could

Come saprei riuscirci io

how I would succeed

Ancora non lo sai

you don't know yet

Io ci metterò

I'll put all my soul into it

Tutta l'anima che ho

all the life you have to live now

Quanta vita sei da vivere adesso

How I would know

Come saprei

how much love there is

...

ready to burst inside me

Quanto amore c'è

how much life you still have to live

Pronto a scoppiare in me

right now

Quanta vita sei da vivere adesso

yes, now

Sì, adesso

How I would know

Come saprei

Come saprei

...
