Nun Te Scurdà

'E ssentevo when I was a little girl, they called it love
that fire that's born inside you and never dies
the friends talked quietly about something scandalous
that a woman only does the moment she gets married

and even though I never got married
I know how the blood and the heart beat really hard
when the voice of passion calls to you
when quietly in a corner you hear whispers

don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because this life goes by
don't forget, never you

don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because if not, what are we here for
don't forget you, never
and so much of the love that fate put in my hands
that I come and people call me a whore for this
I never knew I was imprisoned in this house

to those who scorn me I say you want to see
that your body comes to you like mine
you can't stand me and I already know that
I'm the mirror where you'd never want to look

don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because this life goes by
don't forget, never you

don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because if not, what are we here for
don't forget you, never

mom, whore or ugly copy of a man
this is a woman in this part of the world
that when she's born in this place she's destined
and if she commands the people's hearts she's condemned

mom, whore or ugly copy of a man
would have wanted more in this part of the world
appreciated not for the males I've given birth to
beautiful body not for the beatings I've taken
just because I've been a woman
and
I've never locked the padlock on my heart
just because I've been a woman
just a woman...

don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because this life goes by
don't forget, never you

don't forget, don't forget
don't forget because if not, what are we here for
don't forget you, never.
