Ciao Lyrics in English by Alessandra Amoroso

Home / Lyrics translation / Alessandra Amoroso / Ciao

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ciao by Alessandra Amoroso from Italian to English.

Ti ho detto delle cose

I told you things

Che non avrei voluto dire

That I didn't want to say

E a farti così male

And hurting you like this

Mi sono fatta male

I hurt myself

Ma ho spinto l'acceleratore

But I hit the accelerator

Il tempo di una sigaretta

The time of a cigarette

Mi si è bruciato tutto quanto

I burned everything

È più facile incolparsi

It's easier to blame oneself

Che trovare una soluzione

Than to find a solution

La giusta mediazione

The right mediation

Ciao, sono io, come stai?

Hello, it's me, how are you?

E ti amo ancora

And I still love you

E ti odio più che mai

And I hate you more than ever

Sei ancora tu quello sempre bambino?

Are you still that forever child?

Non ti riconoscerei

I wouldn't recognize you

Eppure so che scoverei

Yet I know I would discover

Il tuo profumo ad occhi chiusi tra mille saprei

Your scent with closed eyes among a thousand I would know

Ora ritorno come niente

Now I come back like nothing

E ti pretendo in un istante

And I demand you in an instant

Ti ho fatto una promessa

I made you a promise

Che non riesco a mantenere

That I can't keep

Mi hai detto vacci piano

You told me to take it easy

E invece già ti amo

And yet I already love you

E sto correndo in controsenso

And I'm running in the wrong direction

Questione di punti di vista

A matter of perspectives

La vita è una partita a poker

Life is a poker game

C'è chi punta ad ogni mano

There are those who bet every hand

E chi invece non crede più a niente

And those who no longer believe in anything

Diventa indifferente

They become indifferent

Ciao, sono io, come stai?

Hello, it's me, how are you?

E ti amo ancora

And I still love you

E ti odio piu che mai

And I hate you more than ever

Sei ancora tu quello sempre bambino?

Are you still that forever child?

Non ti riconoscerei

I wouldn't recognize you

Eppure so che scoverei

Yet I know I would discover

Il tuo profumo ad occhi chiusi tra mille saprei

Your scent with closed eyes among a thousand I would know

Forse ti può sembrare strano

Maybe it may seem strange to you

Io che ritorno come niente

Me coming back like nothing

E ti pretendo in un istante

And demanding you in an instant

Ciao, sono io, come stai?

Hello, it's me, how are you?

Come stai? Come stai?

How are you? How are you?

Se me ne sono andata

If I left

Quando mi hai chiesto di restare

When you asked me to stay

È stato per paura, perché mi viene da scappare

It was out of fear, because I feel like running away

E' la mia insicurezza

It's my insecurity

Che mi fa perdere ogni cosa

That makes me lose everything

Ti giuro sei importante

I swear you're important

È un meccanismo di difesa

It's a defense mechanism

Ti prego scusa

Please forgive me

Amore ciao

Love, goodbye
