Per L'eternità

Ornella Vanoni

For Eternity

Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit
When you say we don't love each other anymore?
Attraction can fade over time, you know?
But you're still the only love that never dies
Suddenly you realize that the love that's been sleeping
Wakes up and it's the greatest there is
And it doesn't matter if you're living a different story, because
Every time I come back more in love with you

No, this isn't right
I'm looking for a man who can give me eternity
Your kisses ignite me, but it's not enough
What’s left just doesn’t cut it, you know
So I’d like to think about it a bit
(Don't you think you're exaggerating a bit?)
(When you say we don't love each other anymore?)
(Attraction can fade over time, you know?)
(But you're still the only love that never dies)

The tone that never changes
The talks that you have
The phrases that, by now, I already know
Words you never say
That I wait for and you don’t give me
I can't resign myself, you know, I just can't
Tonight I want to break through the ceiling
I can't breathe and you don't realize that
This evening dress is getting tight on me, by now
No point in unbuttoning it, you know
I could probably manage alone without you

This isn't right
I'm looking for a man who can give me eternity
Your kisses ignite me, but it's not enough
What’s left just doesn’t cut it, you know
Could you ever
Wake up and look at me with new eyes
And understand me just like I want you to
So I can feel free again
To go or stay with you
Challenging, lightly, this brief eternity
Life goes on
Wasting a day is an unforgivable sin for us
But if you can't change anymore
Come down the stairs and I want to go up
You decide
What dimension to give this story
That has waited too long for a blue sky
Because I can't take it anymore
