[English]
How beautiful you are, more beautiful tonight, Mariù
A starry smile shines in your blue eyes
Even if fate is against us, tomorrow will come
Today I am close to you, why do I sigh?
Speak to me of love, Mariù
You are my whole life
Your beautiful eyes are shining
Like two sparkling stars
Tell me it's not an illusion
Tell me you're all mine
Here in your heart, I suffer no more
Speak to me of love, Mariù
I know you’re a beautiful, mischievous siren
I know those blue eyes can make anyone lose themselves
But what does it matter if the world mocks me
Better to be in the deep whirlpool, but always with you
Speak to me of love, Mariù
You are my whole life
Your beautiful eyes are shining
Like two sparkling stars
Tell me it’s not an illusion
Tell me you’re all mine
Here in your heart, I suffer no more
Speak to me of love, Mariù
...
Tell me it’s not an illusion
Tell me you’re all mine
Here in your heart, I suffer no more
Speak to me of love, Mariù
...
