La Lontananza

Domenico Modugno Domenico Modugno

The Distance

I remember that our conversation
Was interrupted by a siren
Running far away, who knows where?
I was scared because always
When I hear this sound
I think of something serious
And I didn't realize, that for me and for you
Nothing more serious could happen
Than our parting
Then as now

We looked at each other
We would have wanted to stay embraced, instead
With a smile I accompanied you on the usual road
I kissed you as always, and I told you gently
The distance you know, is like the wind
It puts out small fires, but
Ignites the big ones, the big ones

The distance you know is like the wind
That makes you forget those you don't love
A year has already passed and it's a fire
That burns my soul
I thought I was the strongest
I deluded myself into forgetting
And instead I'm here remembering
Remembering you

The distance you know is like the wind
That makes you forget those you don't love
A year has already passed and it's a fire
That burns the soul

Now that so much time has passed
I would give my life to have you by my side
To see you again for just one moment
To tell you "forgive me."
I didn't understand anything about your love
And I needlessly threw away
The only true thing in my life
Your love for me

Goodbye love
Goodbye don't cry
You'll see I'll come back
I promise I'll come back
I swear my love I'll come back
Because I love you
I love you
I'll come back
Goodbye love
Goodbye
I love you
