Translation of the song lyrics Mi manchi - Roberto Vecchioni

Mi manchi (original)

Così a distanza d’anni aprì la mano
E aveva tre monete d’oro finto
Forse per questo non sorrise
Forse per questo non disse «ho vinto»
Richiuse il pugno, roba di un minuto
Per non sentirlo vuoto
E mi manchi
E la ragazza fece opplà una sera
E fu un opplà da rimanerci incinta
Vestì di bianco ch’era primavera
E nella polaroid sorrise convinta
Fecero seguito invitati tristi
E dodici antipasti
E mi manchi, mi manchi, e mi manchi
E quando dodici anni fa dal bagno
Gli disse «è tardi, devo andare…»
Pensò che si trattasse di un impegno
Non dodici anni senza ritornare
Da allora vinse quasi sempre tutto
E smise di pensare
E mi manchi, mi manchi, e mi manchi
Ma finché canto ti ho davanti
Gli anni sono solo dei momenti
Tu sei sempre stata qui davanti

Mi manchi (translation)

So years later he opened his hand
And he had three fake gold coins
Maybe that's why he didn't smile
Maybe that's why he didn't say "I won"
He closed his fist, a minute's stuff
Not to feel empty
And I miss you
And the girl did opplà one evening
And it was an opplà to get pregnant
She wore white that was spring
And in the Polaroid she smiled with conviction
Sad guests followed
And twelve appetizers
And I miss you, I miss you, and I miss you
And when twelve years ago from the bathroom
She told him "it's late, I have to go ..."
She thought it was a commitment
Not twelve years without returning
Since then she almost always won everything
And she stopped thinking
And I miss you, I miss you, and I miss you
But as long as I sing I have you in front of me
Years are just moments
You have always been here in front
