Non Tentarmi Lyrics in English by Biagio Antonacci

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Non Tentarmi by Biagio Antonacci from Italian to English.
Se continui così, se mi guardi così
If you keep going like this, if you look at me like this
Prima o poi parte un bacio lo sai
Sooner or later a kiss will start, you know
E se poi non ci stai e se poi te ne vai
And if then you're not in it and if then you leave
Va a finire che esco di testa
It'll end up with me losing my mind
E io non ne ho nessuna voglia lo sai
And I don't want to at all, you know
Non parlarmi così, non toccarmi così
Don't talk to me like this, don't touch me like this
La tua sana vergogna dov'è?
Where is your healthy shame?
Non ti ho cercata ti ho incontrata, lo sai
I didn't look for you, I met you, you know
Non ti ho chiamata mi hai risposto, lo sai
I didn't call you, you answered me, you know
Non tentarmi dai
Don't tempt me, come on
Mi conosci oramai
You know me by now
E sai anche che poi
And you also know that then
Non tentarmi dai
Don't tempt me, come on
Che mi sanguina il cuore
That my heart bleeds
E ti giuro fa male
And I swear it hurts
Se mi baci così, se mi dici così
If you kiss me like this, if you tell me like this
Come al solito diventa magico ancora
As usual, it becomes magical again
Io distante e mai altrove
I'm distant and never elsewhere
Tu chissà, chissà dove?
You, who knows, who knows where?
È per questo che mi chiedo perché
That's why I ask myself why
Per stare bene solo un'ora con te
To feel good for just an hour with you
Dovrei star male tutto il resto
I should feel bad for all the rest
Del tempo che mi resta senza di te
Of the time I have left without you
Non tentarmi dai
Don't tempt me, come on
Mi conosci oramai
You know me by now
E sai anche che poi
And you also know that then
Non tentarmi dai
Don't tempt me, come on
Più mi sanguina il cuore
The more my heart bleeds
Più ci entri e fai male
The more you enter and hurt
Io che adesso rivivo e descrivo il passato
I who now relive and describe the past
Dicendo è finita da un po'
Saying it's been over for a while
Io che scrivo sui muri del tempo altri nomi
I who write other names on the walls of time
Che fanno già parte di me
That are already part of me
Non tentarmi dai
Don't tempt me, come on
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Non tentarmi dai
Don't tempt me, come on
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Non tentarmi dai
Don't tempt me, come on

tentarmitempt me

Tentarmi comes from the verb tentare, meaning "to tempt" or "to try". In this context, it's used reflexively, tentarmi, meaning "to tempt me".

Biagio Antonacci uses this word directly in the chorus, "Non tentarmi dai" (Don't tempt me, come on). It perfectly encapsulates the song's theme of resisting an irresistible attraction, where the singer is pleading with someone not to push him over the edge into a passionate, yet potentially painful, encounter.
