Semplice Lyrics in English Elodie

Home / Lyrics Translation / Elodie / Semplice

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Semplice by Elodie from Italian to English.

It's not love when it's demanded

When the heart is cold and defends itself

Impatient like a taut thread

It takes, wants but never loves

I don't like playing with fire anymore

The solution is in your hands

Silence kills me, drives me crazy

Simple

Living and laughing like you

As if you were already far away from me

As if you had never been an accomplice

Guilty and absolved

It's easy for you to always make the rules

And even if I'd like to do without you

I love you and you know it

How do you, how do you not understand

There's no love when we give up

When tolerating each other is enough

When a kiss now tastes like nothing

When even kindness is indifferent

Simple

Living and laughing like you

As if you were already far away from me

As if you had never been an accomplice

Guilty and absolved

It's easy for you to always make the rules

And even if I'd like to do without you

I love you and you know it

How do you, how do you not understand

Every day you take is a part of me

But now it's too late to try to save myself

Simple

Laughing and laughing like you

As if you were already far away from me

As if you had never been an accomplice

Guilty and absolved

It's easy for you to always make the rules

And even if I'd like to do without you

I love you and you know it

How do you, how do you not understand

So simple

How do you, how do you not understand
