| Chiss? | Who knows? |
| se m’ami oppure no
| whether you love me or not
|
| chi lo pu? | who can? |
| dire?
| to say?
|
| Chis? | Who is it? |
| se un giorno anch’io potr?
| if one day I too can?
|
| l’amor capire?
| love understand?
|
| Ma quando tu mi vuoi sfiorar
| But when you want to touch me
|
| con le tue mani
| with your hands
|
| avvinta come l’edere
| as enthralled as seeing
|
| mi sento a te.
| I feel like you.
|
| Chiss? | Who knows? |
| se m’ami oppure no
| whether you love me or not
|
| ma tua sar?.
| but it will be yours.
|
| Son qui tra le tue braccia ancor
| I am here in your arms again
|
| avvinta come l’edera
| entangled like ivy
|
| son qui respiro il tuo respiro
| I am here I breathe your breath
|
| son l’edera legata al tuo cuor
| I am the ivy tied to your heart
|
| sono folle di te e questa giovent?
| I'm crazy about you and this youth?
|
| in un supremo anelito
| in a supreme longing
|
| voglio offrirti con l’anima
| I want to offer you with my soul
|
| senza nulla mai chiedere.
| with nothing ever asking.
|
| Cos? | What? |
| mi sentirai cos?
| will you feel me like this?
|
| avvinta come l’edera
| entangled like ivy
|
| perch? | why? |
| in ogni mio respiro
| in my every breath
|
| tu senta palpitare il mio cuor
| you feel my heart beating
|
| finch? | until |
| luce d’amor
| light of love
|
| sul mondo splender?
| on the shining world?
|
| finch? | until |
| m'? | m '? |
| dato vivere
| given to live
|
| a te mi legher?
| will I bind to you?
|
| a te consacrer? | to you consacrer? |
| la vita.
| the life.
|
| Se il vento scuote e fa tremar
| If the wind shakes and makes you tremble
|
| le siepi in fiore
| the hedges in bloom
|
| poi torna lieve a carezzar
| then lightly returns to caress
|
| con tanto amore
| with love
|
| e tu che spesso fai soffrir
| and you who often make people suffer
|
| tormenti e pene
| torments and pains
|
| sussurrami baciandomi
| whisper kissing me
|
| che m’ami ancor.
| that you still love me.
|
| Lo so che forse pianger?
| I know that maybe I will cry?
|
| ma t’amer?.
| but will I love you ?.
|
| Son qui tra le tue braccia ancor
