Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Canzone dell'amore perduto by Fabrizio De André from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ricordi sbocciavan le viole
Memories blossomed the violets
Con le nostre parole
In our words
'non ci lasceremo mai, mai e poi mai'
'we will never, ever, ever let ourselves be'
Vorrei dirti ora le stesse cose
I'd like to tell you the same things now
Ma come fan presto, amore, ad appassire le rose
But as a fan soon, love, to wither the roses
L'amore che strappa i capelli è perduto ormai
The love that rips the hair is lost now
Non resta che qualche svogliata carezza
All that remains is a few dazzling caress
E un po' di tenerezza
And a little tenderness
E quando ti troverai in mano
And when you find yourself in your hand
Quei fiori appassiti al sole
Those flowers withered in the sun
Di un aprile ormai lontano
Of an April now far away
Li rimpiangerai
You're going to regret them
Ma sarà la prima che incontri per strada
But it will be the first one you meet on the street
Che tu coprirai d'oro per un bacio mai dato
That you will cover gold for a kiss never given
Per un amore nuovo
For a new love
E sarà la prima che incontri per strada
And it will be the first one you meet on the street
Che tu coprirai d'oro per un bacio mai dato
That you will cover gold for a kiss never given
Per un amore nuovo
For a new love
