Io So Che Ti Amerò

I know I will love you
For all my life I will love you
And in every distance I will love you
And without hope
I know I will love you
And every thought of mine is
To tell you that
I know I will love you
For all my life
I know I will cry
With every new absence I will cry
But your return will repay me
For the pain that absence has caused me
I know I will suffer
The endless pain it gives me
The desire to be with you
For all my life

I will leave you
You will go
And you will bring your face close to another face
Your fingers will intertwine with other fingers
And you will bloom towards the dawn
But you will not know that I was the one to pick you
Because I am the great intimate of the night
Because I brought my face close to the face of the night
And I heard your loving whisper
And I brought to me the mysterious essence
Of your disordered abandonment

I will remain alone like a sailboat in silent ports
But I will possess you more than anyone
Because I can leave
And all the laments of the sea, the wind, the sky, the birds
The stars, will be your present voice
Your absent voice
Your reassured voice

I know I will suffer
The endless pain it gives me
The desire to be with you
For all my life
