[English]
It's the love that counts
Not the mistakes I've made
Not the bruises I carry
I've taken and I've lost
But I look ahead, you know
To where you walk
They'll say I'm crazy about me
But that's the price of being honest
It's the love that counts
Not just the numbers, and not even the limits
It's a winding road
And it's not logical, and it's not comfortable
In the wait you have
In the moment you know
That it's the love that counts
Don't get lost, learn to say no too
...
I've lost time
Certain opportunities, you know
That won't come back
But it still does me good
If my dignity
Is still young
They'll say I'm not ambitious
That's the price of loving without expectations
It's the love that counts
Not just the numbers, and not even the limits
It's a winding road
And it's not logical, and it's not comfortable
In the wait you have
In the moment you know
That it's the love that counts
Don't get lost, learn to say no too
No, no, no
No to this time
Of anger and concrete
No, no, no, no
It's the love that counts
Not the numbers, and not even the limits
It's a winding road
And it's not logical, and it's not comfortable
In the wait you have
In the moment you know
That it's the love that counts
Don't get lost, learn to say no too
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
...

Key Grammar Structures

  • Di errori ne ho fatti

    ➔ Use of the present perfect tense to indicate an action that has relevance to the present.

    ➔ The phrase "ho fatti" is the **present perfect** form of "fare" (to do/make), illustrating completed actions with relevance to now.

  • Dove cammini tu

    ➔ Use of the present tense "cammini" (from "camminare") to describe ongoing or future actions.

    "Cammini" is the **subjunctive present** form of "camminare", expressing a possibility or ongoing action related to "tu" (you).

  • che sono una pazza

    ➔ Use of the present tense "sono" (from "essere") with a predicate nominative, describing a state or characteristic.

    "Sono" is the **present indicative** form of "essere" (to be), used here to link the subject "io" (I) to the predicate "una pazza" (a crazy person).

  • E' l'amore che conta

    ➔ Use of the present tense "è" (from "essere") with a relative clause to emphasize what truly matters.

    "E'" is the contraction of "è", the **present indicative** form of "essere", used here to state what truly matters.

  • impara anche a dire di no

    ➔ Use of the verb "imparare" in the present tense combined with an infinitive "a dire" to express learning or adopting the ability to refuse.

    "Impara" is the **present tense** of "imparare" (to learn), and "a dire" is the infinitive verb phrase expressing the action of saying or speaking.
