La Cinta Rosa
Lucio Battisti
The Pink Ribbon
Chasing a dragonfly in a meadow,
one day that had escaped from the past,
when I already thought I had achieved it,
I have failed.
A silly phrase has left me in suspense,
it overwhelmed me: 'It's not how I think'.
The feeling was too intense,
and I stayed.
I don't know.
I don't know who you are.
I don't know what you will be.
I don't know what will become of us.
We will learn only by living.
I fear for this tenderness,
now that our adventure
is already a true story,
I wish so much that you are sincere!
In this store that contains so many things,
and some are black, others green, others pink,
I must choose the one that suits my destiny:
I don't know the way.
I have returned with my purchase to my house
and I am afraid of breaking the pink ribbon,
it is not the same to make a mistake in one thing
as in a wife.
I don't know,
I don't know who you are.
I don't know what you will be.
I don't know what will become of us.
We will learn only by living.
I fear for this tenderness,
now that our adventure is already a true story,
I wish so much that you are sincere!
