La Canzone Dei Vecchi Amanti

Certainly there was some storm
Years of love to madness
A thousand times you said enough
A thousand times I walked away

And every piece of furniture remembers
In this cribless room
The flashes of old contrasts
There was no longer anything right
You had lost your warmth
And I the fever of conquest

My love my sweet wonderful love
From clear dawn until the day dies
I still love you, you know I love you
I know all about your magic
And you about my intimacy
I knew about your lies
You about my sad cowardice

I know you had lovers
One must pass the time
The body must rejoice
But it took talent
To grow old without becoming adults
My love my sweet my wonderful love
From clear dawn until the day dies
I still love you, you know I love you

Time passes and discourages us
Torments on our way
But tell me, is there a worse danger
Than loving each other with monotony

Now you cry a lot afterwards
I despair with delay
We have no more mysteries
We leave less to chance
We make peace with the earth
But it's the same sweet war

My love
My sweet, my tender, my wonderful love
From clear dawn until the end of the day
I still love you, you know, I love you
