'O Surdato 'Nnammurato

You are far from this heart,
I fly to you with my thoughts:
I want nothing and hope for nothing
but to always have you by my side!
You are sure of this love
as I am sure of you...

Oh life, oh my life...
oh heart of this heart...
you were the first love...
and the first and last will be for me!

How many nights I don't see you,
don't feel you in these arms,
don't kiss this face,
don't hold you tightly in my embrace?!
But, waking up from these dreams,
you make me cry for you...

Oh life, oh my life...
oh heart of this heart...
you were the first love...
and the first and last will be for me!

You always write and are happy:
I only think of you...
A thought torments me,
that you only think of me...
The most beautiful of all beauties,
is never more beautiful than you!

Oh life, oh my life...
oh heart of this heart...
you were the first love...
and the first and last will be for me!
