On your lips, what stupid falsity

Your hypocrisy

Being with her, looking at her, then telling her

'Yes, if you want, at the cost of dying'

She only has you, you can't leave her, and me?

Think of my pride

That you've already hurt

And I wonder if perhaps

Is it desire or true love?

You're only halfway sincere

When we're alone, we leave for distant worlds

And my hands caress your body, singing

It's you who shouts at me, crying, 'I'm staying'

On your lips, what stupid falsity

Your hypocrisy

You'll act out for me the absurd comedy I hate in you

At the cost of dying

This love of mine, for you to shout it to people

You'll never be able to again

I won't try to give it a voice, no

But I know your skin awakens

Just one gesture and I have you in my power

When we're alone, we leave for distant worlds

And my hands caress your body, singing

You hold me tighter at your side

You're trembling

Did you like this lyrics translation?

This song tells the dramatic story of a love triangle from the perspective of the "other person." The singer is in love with someone who is already committed to someone else. She calls him out for his hypocrisy, accusing him of telling both women what they want to hear. To the other woman, he promises to stay with her "a costo di morire" (at the cost of dying), but when he's alone with the singer, he cries and says he'll stay with her instead.

The singer feels her pride has been wounded and questions if her feelings are true love or just desire. She knows he's only "half-sincere" and that their relationship is like an "absurd comedy." Yet, she also describes their intense physical connection, how her touch makes him tremble and how she feels she has him "in her grasp" during their secret moments together. The song captures the pain, passion, and confusion of being caught in a complicated and dishonest love affair.
