Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Arrivederci by Ornella Vanoni from Italian to English.
Arrivederci dammi la mano e sorridi
Goodbye, give me your hand and smile
Senza piangere arrivederci
No tears, goodbye
Per una volta ancora è bello fingere
One more time it's nice to pretend
Abbiamo sfidato l'amore quasi per gioco
We challenged love almost for fun
Ed ora fingiam di lasciarci
And now we pretend we're breaking up
Soltanto per poco
Only for a while
Arrivederci esco dalla tua vita
Goodbye, I'm stepping out of your life
Salutiamoci arrivederci
Let's say goodbye, goodbye
Questo sarà l'addio ma non pensiamoci
This'll be the farewell but let's not think about it
Con una stretta di mano
With a handshake
Da buoni amici sinceri
Like good, sincere friends
Ci salutiamo per dirci arrivederci
We part to say goodbye
Arrivederci questo sarà l'addio
Goodbye, this'll be the farewell
Ma non pensiamoci
But let's not think about it
Con una stretta di mano
With a handshake
Da buoni amici sinceri
Like good, sincere friends
Ci salutiamo per dirci arrivederci
We part to say goodbye
