Semplice Lyrics in English by Elodie

Home / Lyrics translation / Elodie / Semplice

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

Non è amore quando si pretende

It's not love when it's demanded

Quando il cuore è freddo e si difende

When the heart is cold and defends itself

Come un filo teso è impaziente

Impatient like a taut thread

Prende, vuole ma non ama mai

It takes, wants but never loves

Giocare con il fuoco non mi piace più

I don't like playing with fire anymore

La soluzione ce l'hai tu

The solution is in your hands

Il silenzio mi uccide, mi fa impazzire

Silence kills me, drives me crazy

Semplice

Simple

Vivere e ridere come te

Living and laughing like you

Come se fossi già lontano da me

As if you were already far away from me

Come se non fossi stato mai complice

As if you had never been an accomplice

Colpevole e assolto

Guilty and absolved

Facile fare sempre e solo tu le regole

It's easy for you to always make the rules

E anche se vorrei fare a meno di te

And even if I'd like to do without you

Ti amo e lo sai

I love you and you know it

Come fai, come fai a non capire

How do you, how do you not understand

Non c'è amore quando ci si arrende

There's no love when we give up

Quando sopportarsi è sufficiente

When tolerating each other is enough

Quando un bacio ormai non sa di più che niente

When a kiss now tastes like nothing

Quando anche il bene è indifferente

When even kindness is indifferent

Semplice

Simple

Vivere e ridere come te

Living and laughing like you

Come se fossi già lontano da me

As if you were already far away from me

Come se non fossi stato mai complice

As if you had never been an accomplice

Colpevole e assolto

Guilty and absolved

Facile fare sempre e solo tu le regole

It's easy for you to always make the rules

E anche se vorrei fare a meno di te

And even if I'd like to do without you

Ti amo e lo sai

I love you and you know it

Come fai, come fai a non capire

How do you, how do you not understand

Ogni giorno che ti prendi è una parte di me

Every day you take is a part of me

Ma ora è già tardi per provare a salvarmi

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

Semplice

Simple

Ridere e ridere come te

Laughing and laughing like you

Come se fossi già lontano da me

As if you were already far away from me

Come se non fossi stato mai complice

As if you had never been an accomplice

Colpevole e assolto

Guilty and absolved

Facile fare sempre e solo tu le regole

It's easy for you to always make the rules

E anche se vorrei fare a meno di te

And even if I'd like to do without you

Ti amo e lo sai

I love you and you know it

Come fai, come fai a non capire

How do you, how do you not understand

Così semplice

So simple

Così semplice

So simple

Come fai, come fai a non capire

How do you, how do you not understand
