Se piangi, amore, io piango con te
Perché sono parte di te
Sorridi sempre, se tu non vuoi
Non vuoi vedermi soffrire mai
Se ridi, amore, io rido con te
Perché tu sei parte di me
Ricorda sempre: quel che tu fai
Sopra il mio volto lo rivedrai
Non sei mai sola, anche se tu
Tu sei lontana da me
Ogni momento, dovunque andrai
Accanto a te mi troverai
Se piangi, se ridi, io sono con te
Perché sono parte di te
Ricorda sempre: quel che tu fai
Sopra il mio volto lo rivedrai
Ricorda sempre: quel che tu fai
Sopra il mio volto lo rivedrai
If you cry, my love, I cry with you
Because I’m part of you
Always smile, if you don’t want
Don’t ever want to see me suffering
If you laugh, my love, I laugh with you
Because you’re part of me
Always remember: what you do
You’ll see it again in my face
You’re never alone, even if you
You are far away from me
Every moment, wherever you’ll go
You’ll find me next to you
If you cry, if you laugh, I’m with you
Because I’m part of you
Always remember: what you do
You’ll see it again in my face
Always remember: what you do
You’ll see it again in my face
