[English]

Vivo per lei da quando sai

I live for her since you know

La prima volta l'ho incontrata

The first time I met her

Non mi ricordo come ma

I don't remember how but

Mi é entrata dentro e c'é restata

She got inside me and stayed there

Vivo per lei perché mi fa

I live for her because she makes me

Vibrare forte l'anima

My soul vibrate strongly

Vivo per lei e non è un peso

I live for her and it's not a burden

Je vis pour elle depuis toujours

I've lived for her forever

Qu'elle me déchire ou qu'elle soit tendre

Whether she tears me apart or is tender

Elle nous dessine après l'amour

She paints us after love

Un arc-en-ciel dans notre chambre

A rainbow in our room

Elle est musique et certains jours

She is music, and some days

Quand notre cœur se fait trop lourd

When our heart gets too heavy

Elle est la seule à pouvoir nous porter secours

She's the only one who can come to our rescue

E' una musa che ci invita

She is a muse who invites us

Elle vivra toujours en moi

She will always live in me

Attraverso un pianoforte la morte è

Through a piano, death is

Lontana io vivo per lei

Far away, I live for her

Je vis pour elle jour après jour

I live for her day after day

Quand ses accords en moi se fondent

When her chords melt within me

C'est ma plus belle histoire d'amour

It's my most beautiful love story

E un pugno che non fa mai male

It's a punch that never hurts

Vivo per lei lo so mi fa

I live for her, I know she makes me

Girare di città in città

Go around from city to city

Soffrire un po ma almeno io vivo

Suffer a little but at least I live

Je serais perdue sans elle

I would be lost without her

Vivo per lei dentro gli hotels

I live for her inside hotels

Je suis triste et je l'appelle

I'm sad and I call her

Vivo per lei nel vortice

I live for her in the whirlwind

Attraverso la mia voce

Through my voice

Si espande e amore produce

It expands and produces love

Vivo per lei nient'altro ho

I live for her, I have nothing else

E quanti altri incontrerò

And how many others will I meet

Che come me hanno scritto in viso

Who, like me, have written on their face

Io vivo per lei

I live for her

Io vivo per lei

I live for her

Sopra un palco o contro ad un muro

On a stage or against a wall

Elle nous ressemble encore tu vois

She still looks like us, you see

Anche in un domani duro

Even in a difficult tomorrow

J'existe encore je sais pourquoi

I still exist, I know why

Ogni giorno una conquista

Every day a conquest

La protagonista sarà sempre lei

The protagonist will always be her

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Vivo per lei perché oramai

I live for her because now

Io non ha altra via d'uscita

I have no other way out

Perche la musica lo sai

Because music, you know

Davvero non l'ho mai tradita

I've truly never betrayed her

Elle est musique, elle a des ailes

She is music, she has wings

Elle m'a donné la clé du ciel

She gave me the key to heaven

Qui m'ouvre enfin les portes du soleil

Which finally opens the doors of the sun for me

J'existe par elle

I exist through her

Vivo per lei la musica

I live for her, music

J'existe pour elle

I exist for her

Vivo per lei è unica

I live for her, she's unique

Elle est toi et moi

She is you and me

Io vivo per lei

I live for her

Io vivo per lei

I live for her
