Senza Sorridere Lyrics in English by Francesco Renga

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Senza Sorridere by Francesco Renga from Italian to English.
Ia cara d'oro zecchino
My dear, of pure gold
Amore non porta pazienza
Love has no patience
È fuoco che toglie il respiro
It's fire that takes your breath away
Che brucia a passo di danza
That burns with a dance step
Mia cara, la nostra coscienza
My dear, our conscience
È solo il frutto del peccato
Is only the fruit of sin
Che cresce nella speranza
That grows in the hope
Che il male fatto sia passato
That the wrong done is past
Vivere è un'abitudine per me
Living is a habit for me
Se quello che resta
If what's left
Mi sembra inutile
Seems useless to me
Tutti sanno che non sono
Everyone knows that I'm not
Come chi vorresti tu
Like who you'd want
Come chi vorresti tu
Like who you'd want
Mia cara d'oro zecchino
My dear, of pure gold
Adesso la ruggine avanza
Now the rust advances
E nella luce del mattino
And in the morning light
Sei solo un'ombra nella stanza
You're only a shadow in the room
Vivere è un'abitudine per me
Living is a habit for me
Se quello che resta
If what's left
Mi sembra inutile
Seems useless to me
Quello che non sai
What you don't know
È che c'è un limite
Is that there's a limit
A tutto quello che posso accettare di noi
To everything I can accept of us
Senza sorridere, senza sorridere
Without smiling, without smiling
Tutti sanno che non sono
Everyone knows that I'm not
Come chi vorresti tu
Like who you'd want
Come chi vorresti tu
Like who you'd want

zecchino — sequin / gold coin

Zecchino literally refers to a historical Venetian gold coin, but it's also used to describe something made of pure gold or, more commonly, a sequin.

In "Senza Sorridere," the phrase "cara d'oro zecchino" (dear one of pure gold/gold sequin) is used to describe a beloved person. It evokes an image of someone precious, radiant, and perhaps even dazzling, like a shining gold coin or a sequin. This word adds a touch of classic elegance and value to the description of the person.
