Lyrics of Un'ultima carezza - Luigi Tenco

Un'ultima carezza (original)

Volevo darti un’ultima carezza
Ma tutto era finito ormai per noi
Volevo dirti un’ultima parola
Ma tu piangevi quando ti lasciai
Ora tu, tu dove sei?
Quell’ultima carezza aspetta te
Mi sento chiuse in gola le parole
Che non ho deto prima di lasciarti
Volevo avere un ultimo sorriso
Da ricordare insieme agli occhi tuoi
Ma in quell’attimo ormai
Gia' lontana eri tu
E niente di niente resto'

(translation)

I wanted to give you one last caress
But it was all over for us now
I wanted to tell you one last word
But you were crying when I left you
Now you, where are you?
That last caress awaits you
I feel the words locked in my throat
Which I didn't say before I left you
I wanted to have one last smile
To remember together with your eyes
But in that moment now
You were already far away
And nothing at all remains'
