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
You try telling me why
Dovrei arrendermi solo perché portandoti via
I should give up just because in taking you
Posso anche perdere
I might also lose
Vedi per me perdere te
You see, for me, losing you
Vuol dir che poi perdo anche me
Means... I lose myself too
Come si fa a non vendersi l'anima
How can you not sell your soul
Quando sei tu che vorresti comprarmela?
When you're the one who wants to buy it?
Come si fa a sprecare anche un attimo
How can you waste even a moment
Se ti darà la maniera di vivere?
When it'll 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 you don't give all of yourself?
Ecco perché non chiederai
That's why you won't ask
Niente di me che non avrai
For anything from me... that you won't have
Come si fa a non vendersi l'anima
How can you not sell your soul
Quando sei tu che vorresti comprarmela?
When you're the one who wants to buy it?
Come si fa a sprecare anche un attimo
How can you waste even a moment
Se ti darà la maniera di vivere?
When it'll give you a way to live?
Ecco perché non chiederai
That's why you won't ask
Niente di me che non avrai
For anything from me... that you won't have
Come si fa a non vendersi l'anima
How can you not sell your soul
Quando sei tu che vorresti comprarmela?
When you're the one who wants to buy it?
Come si fa a sprecare anche un attimo
How can you waste even a moment
Se ti darà la maniera di vivere?
When it'll give you a way to live?
E come si fa, come si fa, come si fa
And how can you, how can you, how can you
