La distancia es como el viento
Domenico Modugno
Distance is like the wind
I remember that our words were broken
by a siren running far away, who knows where.
I was scared, because whenever I hear this sound
I think of something serious,
and I didn't realize that for you and me
nothing more serious could happen than our goodbye
We looked at each other, we would have wanted to stay embraced and
instead with a smile I accompanied you down the same street
I kissed you as always and told you sweetly:
the distance you know, is like the wind
it puts out the small fire, but ignites the big ones
You know that distance is like the wind
it takes away with time of forgetfulness
a year has passed, it's a fire
that burns my soul
I who always believed to be stronger
I deluded myself, love, in forgetting you
and instead I'm here, remembering you
remembering you
You know that distance is like the wind
it takes away with time of forgetfulness
a year has passed, it's a fire
that burns my soul
Now that so much time has passed
I give my life if you come next to me
to see you again for just a moment
to tell you: forgive me
I haven't understood anything about your love
and I threw away, Yes, uselessly
the only good thing in my life
your love for me
You know that distance is like the wind
it takes away with time of forgetfulness
a year has passed, it's a fire
that burns my soul
