E Penso A Te Lyrics in English Lucio Battisti

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song E Penso A Te by Lucio Battisti from Italian to English.
I work and think of you
I come home and think of you
I call her and meanwhile think of you
How are you, I think of you
Where do we go and I think of you
I smile at her, lower my eyes and think of you
I don't know who you're with now
I don't know what you're doing
But I'm sure what you're thinking about
The city's too big
For two like us
Who aren't hoping, yet are looking for each other
Sorry, it's late and I think of you
I'll walk you home and think of you
I wasn't fun and I think of you
I'm in the dark and think of you
I close my eyes and think of you
I don't sleep and think of you

SONG MEANING

🛵 Picture this: you clock in at work, ride the bus home, dial the phone, walk a friend to the door… and every single moment is hijacked by one thought — “I think of you.” Lucio Battisti’s classic paints the day of a hopeless romantic whose mind never stops looping back to the same woman. Each ordinary action becomes a trigger: a smile, a street, even the dark before sleep. The simple, repeated lyrics mirror the way a crush can turn into an all-day soundtrack.

Yet beneath the catchy refrain lies a bittersweet twist. The singer does not know where she is or what she’s doing; he just knows she must be thinking of him too. He feels the city is «too big for two who, like us, have no hope but keep searching». In other words, it is a love story stuck between longing and uncertainty. Battisti wraps that tender anxiety in a melody that sounds sunny on the surface, making the song a perfect lesson in how Italian pop can mix irresistible hooks with quietly aching hearts.
