Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Eri Bellissima by Ligabue from Italian to English.
Eri bellissima lasciatelo dire
You were beautiful, let me tell you
E anche stavolta so che non mi crederai
And even this time I know you won't believe me
Eri davanti a me davanti agli occhi del bambino
You were in front of me, in front of the child's eyes
E gli occhi del bambino quelli
And the child's eyes, those ones
Non li danno proprio indietro mai
They never really give them back
Credimi mai, mai ti dico mai
Believe me, never, never I tell you, never
Eri sanissima ostrica e lampone
You were so vibrant, an oyster and a raspberry
Sulle mie dita c'eri sempre e solo te
On my fingers there was always only you
Ti davi un attimo e poi ti nascondevi bene
You gave yourself for a moment and then you hid well
Io l'ho capito che sei sempre stata grande più di me
I understood that you were always greater than me
Ma adesso dimmi
But now tell me
Com'è andata?
How did it go?
Il viaggio di una vita li con te?
The journey of a lifetime there with you?
Io spero solo tutto bene
I only hope all is well
Progettavate voi da piccole
You planned when you were little
Stai bene li con te?
Are you well there with yourself?
Stai bene li con te?
Are you well there with yourself?
Stai bene li con te?
Are you well there with yourself?
Fragile e piccola con le tue paure
Fragile and small with your fears
Mi costringevi a nasconderti le mie
You made me hide mine from you
Sapevi ridere sapevi il tuo sapore
You knew how to laugh, you knew your taste
Te la godevi ad occupare tutte le mie fantasie
You enjoyed occupying all my fantasies
Ma adesso dimmi
But now tell me
Com'è andata?
How did it go?
Il viaggio di una vita li con te?
The journey of a lifetime there with you?
Io spero solo tutto bene
I only hope all is well
Progettavate voi da piccole
You planned when you were little
Stai bene li con te?
Are you well there with yourself?
Stai bene li con te?
Are you well there with yourself?
Stai bene li
Are you well there
Eri bellissima lasciatelo dire
You were beautiful, let me tell you
Eri di tutti ma non lo sapevano
You belonged to everyone but they didn't know it
E tu lo sapevi che facevi gola e soggezione
And you knew you were desired and commanded respect
Siamo stati insieme e comunque
We were together and yet
Non mi hai conosciuto mai
You never knew me
Ma adesso dimmi
But now tell me
Com'è andata?
How did it go?
Il viaggio di una vita li con te?
The journey of a lifetime there with you?
Io spero solo tutto bene
I only hope all is well
Progettavate voi da piccole
You planned when you were little
Stai bene li con te?
Are you well there with yourself?
Stai bene li con te?
Are you well there with yourself?
Stai bene li con te?
Are you well there with yourself?
