Come Sei Lyrics in English by Francesco Sarcina
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Come Sei by Francesco Sarcina from Italian to English.
Ho provato mille volte
I've tried a thousand times
A scriverti una canzone
To write you a song
Questa è la mille ed uno
This is the thousand and one
E ci metto più attenzione
And I pay more attention
Ma lo sai che è difficile
But you know it's difficult
Dipingere un po' di poesia
To paint some poetry
Ed è ancora più difficile
And it's even more difficult
In una sera di nostalgia
On an evening of nostalgia
Ma che vuoi, io ci riprovo
But what can I do, I try again
E scrivendo mi ritrovo
And writing, I find myself again
Se dovessi smarrirmi ancora
If I were to get lost again
Cercatemi tra qualche ora
Look for me in a few hours
E tu che sei bella come un notturno di Chopin
And you who are beautiful like a Chopin nocturne
E tu che mi perdo nel tuo sguardo e tutto va bien
And you who I get lost in your gaze and everything's fine
E tu che sei stata la mia più grande follia
And you who were my greatest folly
E tu che il tempo passa ma resto preda della tua magia
And you who time passes but I remain prey to your magic
Passano i sentieri, passano i sorrisi
Paths pass, smiles pass
Passano le guerre e pure le crisi
Wars pass and even crises
Passano le mode, cambian gli ideali
Fashions pass, ideals change
Passano i potenti e perfino i mali
The powerful pass and even evils
Passa un sentimento, passa la parola
A feeling passes, the word passes
Passa un aeroplano e passando vola
An airplane passes and as it passes, it flies
Passano i tramonti, cambiano i colori
Sunsets pass, colors change
Passano i pensieri e ti rinnamori
Thoughts pass and you fall in love again
E tu che sei bella come un notturno di Chopin
And you who are beautiful like a Chopin nocturne
E tu che mi perdo nel tuo sguardo e tutto va bien
And you who I get lost in your gaze and everything's fine
E tu che sei stata la mia più grande follia
And you who were my greatest folly
E tu che il tempo passa ma resto preda della tua magia
And you who time passes but I remain prey to your magic

follia — folly / madness
Follia translates to "folly" or "madness". It's a dramatic and evocative word that stands out from more common romantic vocabulary.
In the song, Francesco Sarcina sings, "E tu che sei stata la mia più grande follia" (And you who were my greatest folly). Here, "follia" isn't negative; it suggests a passionate, perhaps reckless, love that was incredibly intense and unforgettable, making it a captivating choice for a learner.
