La Lontananza Lyrics in English Domenico Modugno

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Lontananza by Domenico Modugno from Italian to English.
Mi ricordo che il nostro discorso
I remember our talk
Fu interrotto da una sirena
He was interrupted by a siren
Che correva lontana, chissà dove?
Running far away, who knows where?
Io ebbi paura perché sempre
I was afraid because always
Quando sento questo suono
When I hear this sound
Penso a qualcosa di grave
I'm thinking of something serious
E non mi rendevo conto, che per me e per te
And I didn't realize, that for me and for you
Non poteva accadere nulla di più grave
Nothing more serious could have happened
Del nostro lasciarci
Of our leaving each other
Allora, come ora
Then, as now
Ci guardavamo
We looked at each other
Avremmo voluto rimanere abbracciati, ed invece
We would have liked to remain hugged, but instead
Con un sorriso ti ho accompagnato per la solita strada
With a smile I accompanied you along the usual path
Ti ho baciata come sempre
I kissed you as always
E ti ho detto dolcemente
And I told you sweetly
La lontananza sai, è come il vento
You know, distance is like the wind
Spegne i fuochi piccoli
Puts out small fires
Ma accende quelli grandi, quelli grandi
But it turns on the big ones, the big ones
La lontananza sai, è come il vento
You know, distance is like the wind
Che fa dimenticare chi non s'ama
Which makes you forget who you don't love
È già passato un anno ed è un incendio
It's already been a year and it's a fire
Che mi brucia l'anima
That burns my soul
Io che credevo d'essere il più forte
I thought I was the strongest
Mi sono illuso di dimenticare
I fooled myself into forgetting
E invece sono qui a ricordare
And yet I'm here to remember
A ricordare te
To remember you
La lontananza sai è come il vento
You know, distance is like the wind
Che fa dimenticare chi non s'ama
Which makes you forget who you don't love
È già passato un anno ed è un incendio
It's already been a year and it's a fire
Che brucia l'anima
That burns the soul
Adesso che è passato tanto tempo
Now that so much time has passed
Darei la vita per averti accanto
I would give my life to have you next to me
Per rivederti almeno un solo istante
To see you again for at least a single moment
Per dirti 'perdonami'
To tell you 'forgive me'
Non ho capito niente del tuo bene
I didn't understand anything about your good
Ed ho gettato via inutilmente
And I threw it away in vain
L'unica cosa vera della mia vita
The only true thing in my life
L'amore tuo per me
Your love for me
Ciao amore
Hi love
Ciao non piangere
Hello don't cry
Vedrai che tornerò
You'll see I'll be back
Te lo prometto, ritornerò
I promise you, I'll be back
Te lo giuro amore, ritornerò
I promise you love, I will return
Perché ti amo
Because I love you
Ti amo
I love you
Ritornerò
I'll come back
Ciao amore
Hi love
Ciao
HI
Ti amo
I love you
Io che credevo d'essere il più forte
I thought I was the strongest
Mi sono illuso di dimenticare
I fooled myself into forgetting
E invece sono qui a ricordare
And yet I'm here to remember
A ricordare te
To remember you
La lontananza sai è come il vento
You know, distance is like the wind
Che fa dimenticare chi
Which makes you forget who
