Per Sempre Lyrics in English by Nina Zilli

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Per Sempre by Nina Zilli from Italian to English.
Se un giorno tu
If one day you
Tornassi da me dicendo che
Came back to me saying that
È stato un errore lasciarmi andare
It was a mistake to let me go
Lontano lontano da te
Far far away from you
Se un giorno tu
If one day you
Parlassi di me dicendo che
Spoke of me saying that
Sono il tuo rimpianto e non riesci a dormire
I am your regret and you can't sleep
Allora ti direi
Then I would tell you
Stavolta sarebbe per sempre
This time it would be forever
Non importerebbe niente se
It wouldn't matter if
Le parole tue
Your words
Mi hanno fatto male
Hurt me
Ma tanto vale
But it's worth it
Che stavolta sia per sempre
That this time it's forever
Perché l'orgoglio in amore è un limite
Because pride in love is a limit
Che sazia solo per un istante e poi
That satisfies only for a moment and then
Torna la fame
The hunger returns
Se un giorno tu
If one day you
Sentissi che c'è qualcosa che
Feel that there's something
Non ti sai spiegare non ti lascia andare
You can't explain that won't let you go
Non chiedere a me
Don't ask me
Neghi la verità
You deny the truth
Ora che non ti serve piangere
Now that you don't need to cry
Puoi lasciarti cadere
You can let yourself fall
Dimenticare non basterà
Forgetting won't be enough
Ma illudimi che sia per sempre
But deceive me that it's forever
Non importerebbe niente se
It wouldn't matter if
Le parole tue mi hanno fatto male
Your words hurt me
Ma tanto vale
But it's worth it
Che stasera non cedo a niente
That tonight I won't give in to anything
Perché se perdo in amore perdo te
Because if I lose in love, I lose you
Che accendi il mondo per un istante e poi
Who lights up the world for a moment and then
Va via la luce
The light goes out
Bridge
E so che è stupido pensarti diverso
And I know it's stupid to think of you differently
Da ciò che sei realmente
From what you really are
Bridge
Di quello che ti ho dato non ho avuto indietro neanche
Of what I gave you, I didn't even get back
Qel minimo per cui valga la pena di star male
The minimum for it to be worth feeling bad
Mentre affoghi nei tuoi errori
While you drown in your mistakes
E cerco di capire
And I try to understand
L'irrefrenabile bisogno di cercare amore
The uncontrollable need to seek love
Bridge
In quel terreno
In that ground
Che è fertile neanche a morire
That is fertile even in death
Bridge
E invece di morire ho imparato a respirare
And instead of dying, I learned to breathe
Per sempre yeah
Forever yeah
Le parole tue
Your words
Mi hanno fatto male ma tanto vale
Hurt me but it's worth it
Che stavolta non dirò niente
That this time I won't say anything
Perché l'orgoglio in amore è un limite
Because pride in love is a limit
Che sazia solo per un istante e poi
That satisfies only for a moment and then
Torna la fame
The hunger returns
