[English]

I don't know where I'll go

not yet

I'll go where you go.

And I'll follow you, I have nothing

else to do anymore.

I've been waiting for you for so long now

that I almost didn't believe

you would arrive anymore.

I don't know what you have

I know what you are

the one who is right for me

it's fate now that I become

the one who is right for you

I've been waiting, you know, for so long now

that I almost didn't believe

but I hadn't given up

Stay close to me

and you'll see everything

with time everything will come

You can't fool me, you know

I know what you want even before you do

it's decided now

and you can't do without me anymore

I've been waiting for you for so long now

that I almost didn't believe but I hadn't given up

Stay close to me

and you'll see everything that

with time everything will be alright

tomorrow...

we'll do it as if it were just me

and you in this hypocritical world that has no tomorrow

Stay close to me

and you'll see everything

that with time everything will come

Stay close to me

and you'll see everything

with time everything will be alright

I don't know where I'll go,

not yet,

I'll go where you go.

[Italian]

Non lo so dove andrò

ancora no

vado dove vai tu.

E ti seguirò tanto non

ho altro da fare più.

Aspettavo te,da tanto tempo ormai

che quasi non ci credevo

che arrivassi più.

Non lo so che cos'hai

so cosa sei

quella che fa per me

è destino ormai che io diventi

quello che fa per te

Aspettavo sai, da tanto tempo ormai

che quasi non ci credevo

però non mi ero arreso

Stammi vicino

e ogni cosa vedrai

col tempo tutto arriverà

Non mi freghi lo sai

so cosa vuoi ancor prima di te

è deciso ormai

e tu non puoi più far senza di me

Aspettavo te, da tanto tempo ormai

che quasi non ci credevo però non mi ero arreso

Stammi vicino

e ogni cosa vedrai che

col tempo tutto si aggiusterà

domani...

faremo così come fossimo solo io

e te in questo mondo ipocrita che non ha domani

Stammi vicino

e ogni cosa vedrai

che col tempo tutto arriverà

Stammi vicino

e ogni cosa vedrai

col tempo tutto si aggiusterà

Non lo so dove andrò,

ancora no,

vado dove vai tu.
