Canzone Appassiunata
Roberto Murolo
Passionate Song
I planted a little tree
Struggling to grow it with sweat and tears
A gust of wind already broke it
And all the leaves change color
Fruits have already fallen: And all of them
Were sweet, and now they’ve turned bitter
But my heart says: Hey young lover
Hold on to the bitter things, cherish them more
And bitter like you, I love you!
I love you and you make me die
It was like a lovesick canary
This heart that sang morning and night
Wake up! I say and I don’t want to stay awake
And now, it doesn’t even sing in spring!
Those I love don’t make me happy
Maybe it’s destined and written in the sky
But I think an ancient saying goes
You can’t command the heart
And I stay quiet!
And I stay quiet, yes I love you
I love you and you make me die
I cry for love, and my tears fall
Inside this head: the tears are piling up
A beautiful rose blooms and I, for the thrill
To the one who made me cry, I extend my hand
I say: My rose, forgive me
If you walk away without a conscience
There’s a saying that gives me reason
Do good and forget, and if you do wrong, think
Think it over well, yes I love you
I love you and you make me die
