Devi Sapere

You must know how to smile
When the good times go away
And only sadness remains
And days of unhappiness

You must know, in this anguish
You must save your dignity
Despite the pain you feel
You must leave without returning

You beg fate to disarm you
For pity's sake, don't let me die
You must know how to hide the tears
But the world was born to suffer

You must know how to leave the table
When you are no longer needed for love
To rise with indifference
While silently you suffer

You must know how to conceal the pain
And mask your sorrow
To keep the hatred hidden within you
And have hell deep in your heart

You must know how to remain cold
Even if your heart burns with resentment
You must know how to leave life
But I still love it too much
And I don't know how to say goodbye
You must know, however, I don't know...
