Minuetto
Mia Martini
Minuet
Every night is a mystery for me...
A wait that feels like agony.
Too many times I want to say: no!
But then I see you, and I just can't say no!
My heart rebels against you, but my body won't!
Your hands, instruments on me,
Conducted by the expert master that you are...
And come to my place, whenever you want, especially at night,
Sleep here, then leave, it’s always your call.
You know that up here, no matter how it goes,
You’ll have all of me, if you want it for a night...
... And the loneliness keeps growing,
In the big emptiness you leave behind!
I can’t deny a passion, no,
But I can’t always say yes and feel so small
Every time I find myself here in front of you.
Happiness is too precious for my naivety.
I keep waiting for you in the evenings, begging for love...
I’m always yours, whenever you want, especially at night,
Sleep here, then leave, it’s always your call.
You know that up here, no matter how it goes,
You’ll have all of me, if you want it for a night... I’m yours...
... The night at my place, I’m yours, I’m a thousand times yours...
And life is passing us by, I never see any horizons!
Time takes advantage and steals like you did,
The rest of a youth that I no longer have...
And I keep on the same path, always drunk on melancholy,
Now I admit that maybe the fault is only mine,
I should have lost you, instead I searched for you.
Minuet plays for us, my mind never stops.
I don’t know what true love’s smile looks like...
Thoughts come and go, that’s just how life is...
