Happiness
I'm so happy, I'm afraid I'll die
Here in your arms
What would you do if I died like this?
Right now, here in your arms?
That we ever should have met
Is a miracle
No, inevitable -
Then inevitable, yes
But I confess it was the look
The look?
The sadness in your eyes
That day when we glanced at each other
In the park
We were both unhappy
Unhappiness can be seductive
You pitied me
How quickly pity leads to love
All this happiness
Merely from a glance in the park
So much happiness, so much love
I thought I knew what love was
I wish we might have met so much sooner
I could have given you my youth (I thought I knew what love was)
I thought I knew how much I could feel
All the time we lost
I didn't know what love was (I've never known what love was)
But now (But now)
I do
It's what I feel with you
The happiness I feel with you
So much happiness
You are so beautiful
Happening by chance in a park
Not by chance, by necessity
Surely, this is happiness (by the sadness that we saw in each other)
No one else has ever felt before!
Just another love story
That's what they would claim
Another simple love story
Aren't all of them the same?
No, but this is more, we feel more!
This is so much more!
Like every other love story
Some say happiness comes and goes
Then this happiness is a kind of happiness
No one really knows
I thought I knew what love was (I'd only heard what love was)
I thought it was no more than a name for yearning
I thought it was what kindness became
I'm learning
I thought where there was love there was shame
That with you (But with you)
There's just happiness
Endless happiness
What?
I've been transferred to the Fourth Brigade
Oh Clara, please, don't look so sad
You're the one that makes me happy
God, you are so beautiful
I love to see you in the light
Clear and beautiful, memorize
Every inch, every part of you to take with me
Giorgio
Your feet so soft
As if they'd never touched the ground
I must go
Your skin so white, so pure, so delicate
Your smell so sweet, your breath so warm
I will summon you in my mind
I'm painting you indelibly on my mind
Let me go
We must fill every moment
All this happiness ended by a word in the dark
Oh my love, oh my darling
So much happiness wasn't meant to last
I am here, I am with you
I am yours (I never knew what love was)
Your skin, your silken hair, your breasts, your lips (I always thought I didn't deserve it)
I want you every minute of my life (I didn't know what love was)
I don't know how I'll live when you're gone!
I will always be here
I don't know how I'll live
Giorgio! Don't leave me
Here in your arms
What would you do if I died like this?
Right now, here in your arms?
That we ever should have met
Is a miracle
No, inevitable -
Then inevitable, yes
But I confess it was the look
The look?
