Un Sorriso Gratis
Gino Paoli
A Free Smile
It had been a while since
I didn't feel like talking to others
That I didn't feel like saying if
I wanted to shout: Enough
It had been a while since
I walked around with my head down
Without looking at anyone around me
To avoid seeing my accusation in the face
It had been a while since I stopped hoping
But then by chance I met you who
With a smile put me back in the world
With just a smile
With a smile I didn't expect
With a free smile
To a smile now I respond
If it wants nothing in return
I sat down and used
All the tears I didn't cry
It seems impossible to meet someone
Walking on the same sidewalk
And gives you way with simplicity
And smiles at you without a reason
This is how the appearance changes
Of a day that started badly
It seems impossible that he is there
And that he makes me see the sun again
It had been a while since I didn't see
Who, smiling, gives me amnesty
With a smile put me back in the world
With just a smile
With a smile I didn't expect
With a free smile
To a smile now I respond
If it wants nothing in return
I sat down and used
All the tears I didn't cry
