Verse 1
Un amore quando ami troppo
A love, when you love too much
È più difficile da mantenere
is harder to hold on to
Perché noi siamo due città di porto
Because we are two port cities
Non siamo fatti per rimanere
We are not made to stay
Ed ho imparato anche a dormire storto
And I even learned to sleep crooked
Per non finire mai nel tuo lato del letto
So I never end up on your side of the bed
Ma il tuo ricordo me lo tengo stretto
But I hold the memory of you tight
Come un cuscino che tieni sul petto
Like a pillow you keep against your chest
Quando la notte si stringe un po'
When the night closes in a little
Tra quello che siamo e quello che no
Between what we are and what we are not
Chorus 1
Ma come noi, te lo giuro
But like us, I swear to you
Non si amerà mai nessuno
no one will ever love like this
Se stare insieme fa male, io voglio soffrire ogni giorno di più
If being together hurts, I want to suffer more every day
Tu me cammin int' all'anema
You walk inside my soul
E po' scumpar int' a 'n attim
And then you vanish in an instant
Anche se siamo distanti non siamo diversi come Genova e Napoli
Even though we are far apart we are not so different, like Genoa and Naples
Finché c'è solo il mare
As long as it is only the sea
Che ci può separare
That can keep us apart
Verse 2
Io non riesco a capire gli altri come fanno
I cannot understand how other people manage
A vedere il mare solo qualche giorno l'anno
To see the sea only a few days a year
E non guardare mai oltre perché l'orizzonte non si vede in città
And never look further, because you cannot see the horizon in the city
E 'o mar ce 'o manten cu'e prumess
And the sea keeps it for us with its promises
Ma nun 'o sap ca tu he fatt fess sulament a me
But it does not know that you only made a fool of me
Nun simm nuje si nun simm' ij e te
We are not us if we are not you and me
Chorus 2
Ma come noi, te lo giuro
But like us, I swear to you
Non si amerà mai nessuno
no one will ever love like this
Se stare insieme fa male, io voglio soffrire ogni giorno di più
If being together hurts, I want to suffer more every day
Tu me cammin int' all'anema
You walk inside my soul
E po' scumpar int' a 'n attim
And then you vanish in an instant
Anche se siamo distanti non siamo diversi come Genova e Napoli
Even though we are far apart we are not so different, like Genoa and Naples
Bridge
E chi si è amato davvero non si può lasciare
And those who have truly loved each other cannot let go
Noi siamo due cuori nello stesso mare
We are two hearts in the same sea
E la nostra domenica sarà sempre speciale
And our Sunday will always be special
Chorus 3
Ma come noi, te lo giuro
But like us, I swear to you
Non si amerà mai nessuno
no one will ever love like this
Se stare insieme fa male, io voglio soffrire ogni giorno di più
If being together hurts, I want to suffer more every day
Tu me cammin int' all'anema
You walk inside my soul
E po' scumpar int' a 'n attim
And then you vanish in an instant
Anche se siamo distanti non siamo diversi come Genova e Napoli
Even though we are far apart we are not so different, like Genoa and Naples
Finché c'è solo il mare
As long as it is only the sea
Che ci può separare
That can keep us apart
Niente ci dividerà
Nothing will divide us
