Forse Eri Meglio Di Lei

There’s no one more beautiful in the world
I thought about that famous day at the altar
You were better, maybe even more than her
More than her, whom I now love to death.
Like a dream, you were for me ...
...
I remember when I’d come home
You’d be at the window waiting for me
But now when I come back to you
You don’t wait for me anymore, and sometimes you’re not even home...
...
And if I was late at night, maybe you don’t remember anymore
Under the covers, you’d be waiting for me
And you were, not even in a nightgown
Your bare skin burned with desire
To hold me, to hold me.

Now when you come to bed, how do you dress?
And you undress when you get up from me
And out of fear that I might ask for sex
You always make up an excuse every night
But maybe you want me to beg for it...
...
Your kisses have made me sigh for a long time
Maybe you only did it
To tie me to you
And instead, you’ve loosened this knot
That He above had made for us two
And you didn’t see, that I was all alone...
Now you cry because I love another
Lord, since you don’t want me to leave the woman
That you chose for me, and that day
I brought to the altar, I beg you help me: erase
The other from my heart, because the bride you’ve
Given to me is just a sister now
Who knows if I’ll ever love her again...
