Official Video Clip
Lyrics
Qui seduto sul letto ripenso a noi,/Here sitting in my bed I am thinking of us,
a quei giorni che il vento ha portato via,/And those days that now are gone,
quante sere passate allo stesso bar,/How many nights we passed in the same bar,
con gli amici che adesso non vedo più,/With the friends that now I can't see anymore,
il suo sguardo era luce negli occhi miei,/Her sight was light in my eyes,
la sua voce era un suono dolcissimo,/Her voice was a sweet sound,
quante volte ho pensato di dirglielo,/How many times I have thought of telling her,
quante volte ho creduto di farcela./How many times,I have though I could.
Ore in macchina a parlare sotto casa sua,/Hours in my car in front of her home,
si rideva si scherzava e non capiva che,/She laughed,she joked and didn't understand,
non capiva che l'amavo,/Didn't understand that I loved her,
e ogni volta che soffriva io soffrivo,/And everytime she suffered,I also did
quante notti ho pianto senza dire niente,/How many night I have cried saying nothing
perché perché perché perché./why why why why.
Non capiva che l'amavo,/She didn't understand I loved her,
e ogni volta che non c'era io morivo,/And when she wasn't I was like dead,
quante notti ho pianto senza fare niente,/How many nights I have cried doing nothing,
e mi nascondevo all'ombra di un sorriso,/And I hid myself after a smile,
non capiva che l'amavo./She didn't understand that I loved her.
Il ricordo è una lama nell'anima,/Her memory is a blade un my soul,
un dolore che brucia senza pietà,/A pain that hurts without mercy,
Il suo nome vivrà nell'eternità,/Her name will live in eternity,
come un segno profondo e indelebile,/like a deep and indelible sign,
ore e ore a soffocare tutto dentro me,/Hours and hours covering everything in me,
mi parlava mi guardava e non capiva che./She talked to me,saw me and didn't undestand that,
Non capiva che l'amavo,/Didn't understand that I loved her,
e ogni volta che soffriva io soffrivo,/And each time that she suffered I also did,
quante notti ho pianto senza dire niente, fare niente,/How many nights I have cried saying nothing,doing nothing
perché perché perché,/why why why,
non capiva che l'amavo,/She didn't understand that I loved her,
e ogni volta che non c'era io impazzivo,/and each time she wasn't with I was driven crazy,
quante volte ho fatto finta inutilmente,/how many times I pretended needlessly,
e mi nascondevo all'ombra di un sorriso,/And I hid my self after a smile,
non capiva che l'amavo./She didn't understand I loved her.
..non capiva che... l'amavo./...she didn't understand...that I loved her.
Non capiva che l'amavo,/She didn't understand that I loved her,
e ogni volta che non c'era io impazzivo,/and each time she wasn't with I was driven crazy,
quante volte ho fatto finta inutilmente,/how many times I pretended needlessly,
non capiva che l'amavo,/she didn't understand that I loved her,
non capiva che l'amavo,/she didn't understand that I loved her,
non capiva che l'amavo,/she didn't understand that I loved her...

The only thing I found funny is you using Shweiz for Switzerland when the song is in Italian...
