Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Come Si Fa by Ornella Vanoni from Italian to English.
Prova un po' tu a dirmi perché
Try telling me why
Dovrei arrendermi solo perché portandoti via
I should give up just because it takes you away
Posso anche perdere
I can also lose
Vedi per me perdere te
See for me to lose you
Vuol dir che poi perdo anche me
It means that then I lose myself too
Come si fa a non vendersi l'anima
How do you not sell your soul
Quando sei tu che vorresti comprarmela?
When are you the one who would like to buy it for me?
Come si fa a sprecare anche un attimo
How can you waste even a moment
Se ti darà la maniera di vivere?
Will he give you a way to live?
Come fai a parlare d'amore
How can you talk about love
Quando poi non dai tutto di te?
When then you don't give everything of yourself?
Ecco perché non chiederai
That's why you won't ask
Niente di me che non avrai
Nothing about me that you won't have
Come si fa a non vendersi l'anima
How do you not sell your soul
Quando sei tu che vorresti comprarmela?
When are you the one who would like to buy it for me?
Come si fa a sprecare anche un attimo
How can you waste even a moment
Se ti darà la maniera di vivere?
Will he give you a way to live?
Ecco perché non chiederai
That's why you won't ask
Niente di me che non avrai
Nothing about me that you won't have
Come si fa a non vendersi l'anima
How do you not sell your soul
Quando sei tu che vorresti comprarmela?
When are you the one who would like to buy it for me?
Come si fa a sprecare anche un attimo
How can you waste even a moment
Se ti darà la maniera di vivere?
Will he give you a way to live?
E come si fa, come si fa, come si fa
And how to do it, how to do it, how to do it
