Romance
I can already hear her.
Already hear her dying,
but she’s calm, as though she just wants to
sleep;
then she comes and searches for me with her eyes
then she takes away
even the last veil,
even the last bit of heaven,
even the last kiss.
Maybe it was my fault.
Maybe it was your fault
And so I've been left to wonder...
Life.
What is life?
all or nothing
maybe there's not even a 'why'.
She comes and searches for me with her hands
then squeezes me,
Slowly lets me go,
Slowly squeezes again
Slowly looks for me.
Maybe it's my fault.
Maybe it's yours.
And so I have been left to watch.
And they call it love,
they call it love,
and they call it love
that needle in the heart
which causes no pain.
There are people
who are a desert.
who have sand
at the bottom of their heart.
Then you,
who can no longer hear me
who can no longer see me.
I at least have the courage
And the strength to say
I am with you.
Ave Maria. Ave Maria.
Maybe it was my fault,
maybe it was mine
And so I've been left like this
Left like this.
I can already tell
that she can't hear anymore
in silence
she has gone to sleep
she has already gone to sleep.

This brilliant song calls "Romance" a "she" since the word is feminine in Italian -- "La Romanza." And so the singer is singing both to the idea of romance itself as well as to a woman he loved. Bravo to composer Mauro Malavasi and bravo to the Italian language which allows this kind of wordplay. There are a couple of words I have translated more for meaning rather than literally -- so that the reader can understand the depth of this song.
