Verse 1

Tonight is for you

And if I don't come back tomorrow, it makes no difference

If I throw my life down the drain

Keep going, stop it, don't cry

Even if this is all life is

And if all that's left is a note

Everything I did, I chose it

And tonight, yes, I would do it again

For you, who always give me that feeling of the first night

Chorus 1

Tell me, what will be left if I burn it all down now?

Tonight is the last one for us

Here beneath an endless sky

It would be easy to love, if I knew the cure

Hold me, Rome, before we fall asleep tonight

Verse 2

Fine, it makes no difference

I will not change the life I chose

I will not give up taking you to Trastevere at dawn to sing you a serenade

And tonight is for you

For you, who wait for me anyway

For you, who always find a moment

If you end up missing telling me, 'Come back soon, my love'

I have grown up

Chorus 2

Tell me, what will be left if I burn it all down now?

Tonight is the last one for us

Here beneath an endless sky

It would be easy to love, if I knew the cure

Hold me, Rome, before we fall asleep tonight

Bridge

Tell me, what will be left if I burn it all down?

But what will be left of me, if I do not come to you

When there is no one left

When I no longer have a place to fall asleep safely

Chorus 3

Tell me, what will be left if I burn it all down now?

Tonight is the last one for us

Here beneath an endless sky

It would be easy to love, if I knew the cure

Hold me again, Rome

Before we fall asleep tonight

serenata — serenade

Serenata translates to "serenade," a classic romantic gesture of singing to someone, often under their window at night.

In the song, Achille Lauro sings about not giving up on taking his love to Trastevere at dawn to "fa' na serenata" (give a serenade). This word evokes a timeless, passionate image of Italian romance, making it both unique and culturally rich within the lyrics.

Achille Lauro writes this like a note left on a table. The first lines are addressed to someone who might wake up alone: "E se non tornerò domani, è lo stesso" (And if I don't come back tomorrow, it makes no difference), then "Vai avanti, smettila, non piangere" (Keep going, stop it, don't cry). He is not apologising. "Tutto quello che ho fatto, l'ho scelto" (Everything I did, I chose it) is the closest the song comes to a defence, and it refuses to be one.

What holds it together is Rome. The chorus turns the city into the person he is saying goodbye to: "Abbracciami Roma, prima di addormentarci stasera" (Hold me, Rome, before we fall asleep tonight). The promises he will not give up are streets: Trastevere at dawn, a serenade sung under a window. And the question he keeps returning to, "Dimmi, cosa resterà se mando tutto in fumo adesso?" (Tell me, what will be left if I burn it all down now?), gets its one answer in the bridge: "Quando non avrò più un posto per addormentarmi al sicuro" (When I no longer have a place to fall asleep safely).
