[English]

Nuje simmo ddoje stelle ca stanno precipetanno

We are two stars that are falling

Te staje vestenno consapevole ca t'hê 'a spuglià

You are getting dressed knowing that you have to undress

Pure 'o mmale ce fa bbene, 'nzieme i' e te

Even the bad does us good, together you and I

C'ammo sperato 'e stà pe sempe 'nzieme i' e te

We hoped to be together forever, you and I

No, no, no, comme se fà, no, no, no, a te scurdà?

No, no, no, how can it be, no, no, no, forget you?

Pe mo, no, nn"o ppozzo fà, si nn'ce stive, t'er"a 'nventà

For now, no, I can't do it, if you weren't here, I would have to invent you

'A felicità quanto costa si 'e sorde nn"a ponno accattà?

How much does happiness cost if money can't buy it?

Aggio sprecato tiempo a parlà

I wasted time talking

Nun l"ess"a penzato maje

I never thought about it

Ca ll'inizio d"a storia era ggià 'a fine d" storia pe nuje

Because the beginning of the story was already the end of the story for us

'O cielo ce sta guardanno

The sky is watching us

E quando chiove è pecché s'è dispiaciuto pe'mmé e pe'tté

And when it rains, it's because it felt sorry for me and for you

Picciò mo sta inizianno a chiovere

So now it's starting to rain

Simmo duje estranei ca se 'ncontrano

We are two strangers who meet

E stevo penzanno a tutte le cose che ho fatto

And I was thinking about all the things I've done

E a tutte quelle che ho perso, non posso fare nient'altro

And all those I've lost, I can't do anything else

I' pe'mmé, tu pe'tté

I for me, you for you

I' pe'mmé, tu pe'tté

I for me, you for you

I' pe'mmé, tu pe'tté

I for me, you for you

Tu me 'ntrappole abbracciannome, pure 'o diavolo era n'angelo

You trap me by hugging me, even the devil was an angel

Comme me può amà si nun t'amo? Comme può vulà senz'ali?

How can you love me if I don't love you? How can you fly without wings?

E no, è passato tantu tiempo d'a ll'ultima vota

And no, it's been a long time since the last time

Damme n'atu poco 'e tiempo pe ll'ultima vota

Give me a little more time for the last time

E no, no, no, no, comme se fa, no, no, no, a te scurdà?

And no, no, no, no, how can it be, no, no, no, forget you?

Pe mo, no, nn"o ppozzo fá

For now, no, I can't do it

Nun l"ess"a penzato maje

'Sta notte è sulo d"a nosta

This night is only ours

Si vuò truanno 'a luna, 'a vaco a piglià e t"a porto

If you want to find the moon, I’ll go get it and bring it to you

E pure si 'o facesse, tu nun fusse cuntenta

And even if I did, you wouldn’t be happy

Vulisse tutt"e stelle, vulesse cchiù tiempo cu'tté

I would want all the stars, I would want more time with you

So now it's starting to rain

Simmo duje estranei ca se 'ncontrano
