Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Con Il Nastro Rosa by Lucio Battisti from Italian to English.
Inseguendo una libellula in un prato
Chasing a dragonfly in a meadow
Un giorno che avevo rotto col passato
One day when I had broken with the past
Quando già credevo di esserci riuscito
When I already thought I had succeeded
Una frase sciocca, un volgare doppio senso
A silly phrase, a vulgar double meaning
Mi ha allarmato non è come io la penso
Alarmed me, it's not how I think
Ma il sentimento era già un po' troppo denso
But the feeling was already a bit too dense
E son restato
And I stayed
Chissà, chissà chi sei
Who knows, who knows who you are
Chissà che sarai
Who knows what you will be
Chissà che sarà di noi
Who knows what will become of us
Lo scopriremo solo vivendo
We will only find out by living
Comunque adesso ho un po' paura
Anyway, now I'm a little scared
Ora che quest'avventura
Now that this adventure
Sta diventando una storia vera
Is becoming a true story
Spero tanto tu sia sincera
I hope you are sincere
Un magazzino che contiene tante casse
A warehouse containing many boxes
Alcune nere, alcune gialle, alcune rosse
Some black, some yellow, some red
Dovendo scegliere e studiare le mie mosse
Having to choose and study my moves
Sono alle impasse
I am at a standstill
Mi sto accorgendo che son giunto dentro casa
I am realizing that I have arrived home
Con la mia cassa ancora con il nastro rosa
With my box still with the pink ribbon
E non vorrei aver sbagliato la mia spesa
And I wouldn't want to have made a mistake with my shopping
O la mia sposa
Or my spouse
Chissà, chissà chi sei
Who knows who you are
Chissà che sarai
Who knows who you are
Chissà che sarà di noi
Who knows who you are
Lo scopriremo solo vivendo
Who knows who you are
Comunque adesso ho un po' paura
Who knows who you are
Ora che quest'avventura
Who knows who you are
Sta diventando una storia vera
Who knows who you are
Spero tanto tu sia sincera
Who knows who you are
Chissà chi sei
Who knows who you are
Chissà chi sei
Who knows who you are
Chissà chi sei
Who knows who you are
Chissà chi sei
Who knows who you are
Chissà chi sei
Who knows who you are
Chissà chi sei
Who knows who you are
Chissà chi sei
Who knows who you are
Chissà chi sei
Who knows who you are
