[English]

How I would know

how to understand the man you are

How I would discover then

the fantasies you want

I could reach them

deep inside you

In your silences

always more emotionally

How I would know

how to surprise the man you are

When you're there and you don't know

which way to take

How I would know

to bring back your eyes

to hold them to mine

always more emotionally

In a world where loneliness gives us

why don't you stay with me for a while?

How I would know how to love you

no one ever could

how I would manage to do it

you don't know yet

I'll put all my soul into it

all the life you have to live now

How much life you still have to live

How I would know

I wish it was already flesh and bone

the touch that exists

I wish they were stars

every time with you

How I would love to love you

no one ever could

how I would succeed

you don't know yet

I'll put all my soul into it

all the life you have to live now

How I would know

how much love there is

ready to burst inside me

how much life you still have to live

right now

yes, now

How I would know

Come saprei

...

[Italian]

Come saprei

Capire l'uomo che sei

Come saprei scoprire poi

Le fantasie che vuoi

Io ci arriverei

Nel profondo, dentro te

Nei silenzi tuoi

Emozionando sempre più

Come saprei

Stupire l'uomo che sei

Quando stai lì e non sai

Che voli prendere

Come saprei

Richiamare gli occhi tuoi

Incollarli ai miei

Emozionando sempre più

Nel mondo che solitudini ci dà

Perché non resti un po' con me?

Come saprei amarti io

Nessuno saprebbe mai

Come saprei riuscirci io

Ancora non lo sai

Io ci metterò

Tutta l'anima che ho

Quanta vita sei da vivere adesso

Come saprei

Io vorrei che fosse già pelle

Il contatto che c'è

Io vorrei che fossero stelle

Ogni volta con te

Come saprei amarti io

Nessuno saprebbe mai

Come saprei riuscirci io

Ancora non lo sai

Io ci metterò

Tutta l'anima che ho

Quanta vita sei da vivere adesso

Come saprei

Quanto amore c'è

Pronto a scoppiare in me

Quanta vita sei da vivere adesso

Sì, adesso

Come saprei
