La Musica E' Finita Lyrics in English by Ornella Vanoni
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Musica E' Finita by Ornella Vanoni from Italian to English.
Ecco, la musica è finita
Well, the music is over
Gli amici se ne vanno
The friends are leaving
Che inutile serata
What a useless evening
Amore mio
My love
Ho aspettato tanto per vederti
I waited so long to see you
Ma non è servito a niente
But it was for nothing
Niente, nemmeno una parola
Nothing, not even a word
L'accenno d'un saluto
A hint of a greeting
Ti dico arrivederci
I tell you goodbye
Amore mio
My love
Nascondendo la malinconia
Hiding the melancholy
Sotto l'ombra di un sorriso
Under the shadow of a smile
Cosa non darei
What I wouldn't give
Per stringerti a me
To hold you close to me
Cosa non farei
What I wouldn't do
Perché questo amore
So that this love
Diventi per me
Becomes for me
Più forte che mai
Stronger than ever
Ecco, la musica è finita
Well, the music is over
Gli amici se ne vanno
The friends are leaving
E tu mi lasci sola
And you leave me alone
Più di prima
More than before
Un minuto è lungo da morire
A minute is agonizingly long
Se non è vissuto insieme a te
If it's not lived with you
Non buttare via così
Don't throw away like this
La speranza di una vita
The hope of a life
D'amore
Of love
Un minuto è lungo da morire
A minute is agonizingly long
Se non è vissuto insieme a te
If it's not lived with you
Non buttare via così
Don't throw away like this
La speranza di una vita
The hope of a life
D'amore
Of love
