Cosa Ti Aspetti Da Me Lyrics in English Loredana Bertè

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cosa Ti Aspetti Da Me by Loredana Bertè from Italian to English.
There's something wrong
To be sitting here
To at least tell each other
And at least say the useless things
That seems real to you only if
It had to end up like this
That you want to give it all
You want to give it all and stay there
And I believed it
And yeah, I believed it
It only takes a lifetime
To last just a moment
Because you believed it
Because yeah, you believed it
You wait your whole life
To last just a moment
What do you want from me
What do you want from me
What do you expect inside you
Since you don't know anyway
You don't really want it
Whatever you're looking for from me
What do you want for me
What do you want for yourself
What do you expect deep inside
There's something wrong
And then it all ends here
You can do without
You can skip even the easy things
If it's true, then it's truer still
If it's fine, it's fine like this
And fragile, fragile, you stay there
And I believed it
Yeah, I believed it
It only takes a lifetime
To last just a moment
And you believed it
Yeah, you believed it
You wait your whole life
To last just a moment
What do you want from me
What do you want from me
What do you expect inside you
Since you don't know anyway
You don't really want it
Whatever you're looking for from me
What do you want for me
What do you want for yourself
What are you hiding inside you
Bridge
But I can't believe that
Another love could exist
That another love like you could exist
But I can't believe that
Another love exists
Another love exists
What do you want from me
What do you want from me
What do you expect from me?
Since you don't know anyway
You don't really want it
Whatever you're looking for from me
What do you want for me
What do you want for yourself
What are you hiding in your eyes
What do you want from me?

SONG MEANING

Cosa Ti Aspetti Da Me is Loredana Bertè’s fiery interrogation of a love stuck at the crossroads. With her trademark grit, she peppers the song with relentless questions What do you want from me? What are you hiding? until they echo like drum hits. The verses picture two lovers sitting in uneasy silence, trying to patch the void with small talk, while underneath bubbles a mix of frustration, longing, and disbelief that any other love could ever feel this intense.

The heart of the song lies in the paradoxical line Ci vuole soltanto una vita per essere un attimo: it takes a whole lifetime just to become a single moment. Bertè highlights how we can spend years chasing a spark that flashes and fades in seconds. She contrasts the urge to give everything with the paralysis of hesitation, showing how fragile we remain when we search outside ourselves for meaning. The result is an anthem for anyone who has demanded clarity in a relationship and ended up confronting their own expectations.
