Verse 1
Pensavo, nonostante ciò che dico io di lei
I was thinking, in spite of what I say about her
Mi basta questo sguardo
This look is enough for me
Non so com'è che tu fai
I don't know how you do it
Mi porti in una rampa che da solo non farei
You take me up a slope I wouldn't climb on my own
Per coprirti quando dormi
To cover you up while you sleep
Non sai cosa io darei
You don't know what I would give
Lo sai che è matematica la vita che c'è in noi
You know the life inside us is mathematics
È tutto molto semplice
It's all very simple
Tu credi e giocherai
You believe and you'll play
A dadi col destino
At dice with fate
E se non vinci griderai
And if you don't win you'll shout
Scoprendo che il sorriso
Finding out that a smile
Se non c'è, tu poi lo crei
If it isn't there, you go and create it
Prechorus 1
Eccomi
Here I am
Ho ancora quel vecchio difetto di perdermi
I still have that old flaw of losing myself
Ma volevo parlare di te
But I wanted to talk about you
Ridi ancora per non piangere?
Do you still laugh so you don't cry?
Ci pensi mai tu a quel primo caffè?
Do you ever think about that first coffee?
Chorus 1
Vivimi di notte
Live me at night
Quando dorme la città
When the city sleeps
E siamo soli in macchina
And we're alone in the car
Fermiamolo 'sto tempo
Let's stop this time
Prima che il tempo complica
Before time complicates
Ogni inizio con l'età
Every beginning with age
Ti va di amarmi
Do you feel like loving me
Adesso ed oltre gli anni?
Now and beyond the years?
Ti va di amarmi?
Do you feel like loving me?
Ridi ancora per non piangere?
Do you still laugh so you don't cry?
Ma ci pensi mai oggi che giorno è?
But do you ever think what day it is today?
Verse 2
Pensavo che ora scrivo
I was thinking that now I write
E rendo suono questa idea
And I turn this idea into sound
Ma è magico sapere che qui dentro tu sei mia
But it's magic to know that in here you are mine
Per questo vado spesso al pianoforte se mi manchi
That's why I often go to the piano when I miss you
Perché scrivo e penso a te
Because I write and I think of you
E per magia non sei distante
And by magic you're not far away
Prechorus 2
Eccomi
Here I am
Ho ancora quel vecchio difetto di perdermi
I still have that old flaw of losing myself
Ma volevo parlare di te
But I wanted to talk about you
È ancora il tuo numero il 23?
Is 23 still your number?
Ma ci pensi mai oggi che giorno è?
But do you ever think what day it is today?
Chorus 2
Vivimi di notte
Live me at night
Quando dorme la città
When the city sleeps
E siamo soli in macchina
And we're alone in the car
Fermiamolo 'sto tempo
Let's stop this time
Prima che il tempo complica
Before time complicates
Ogni inizio con l'età
Every beginning with age
Ti va di amarmi
Do you feel like loving me
Adesso ed oltre gli anni?
Now and beyond the years?
Ti va di amarmi?
Do you feel like loving me?
Ridi ancora per non piangere?
Do you still laugh so you don't cry?
Ci pensi mai tu a quel primo caffè?
Do you ever think about that first coffee?
Io sì
I do

rampa — ramp
Rampa literally means "ramp". While it might seem like an ordinary word, its use in this song is quite unique and metaphorical.
Ultimo sings, "Mi porti in una rampa che da solo non farei" (You take me on a ramp that I wouldn't go on alone). Here, "rampa" isn't a physical structure but symbolizes a challenging or adventurous path in life that the singer is willing to take only because his loved one is with him. It's an interesting way to express trust and shared journey.
