È notte alta e sono sveglio 00:04
Sei sempre tu il mio chiodo fisso 00:07

[English]
It's late at night and I'm awake
You are always my obsession
I was better with you
And the more I think of you, the more I want you
All the trouble I went through to have you
For this love that was an unripe fruit
And now that I love you, I
Lose you
...
Again, again, again
...
Because since that night
I haven't made love without you anymore
And I don't care about anything without you
Even if I met an angel, I would say
You don't make me fly as high as she does
...
Late at night and I'm awake
I get dressed and undressed again
This desire makes me restless
Sooner or later I'll make the mistake of
Going crazy and coming under your house
Throwing stones at the lit window
Kicking your closed door
Closed
...
Again, again, again
...
Because since that night
I haven't made love without you anymore
And I don't care about anything without you
Again, again
Again, again
...
