Daniel Pemberton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stasera
Che mi riporta un poco del passato
La luna ci teneva compagnia
Io ti sentivo mia, soltanto mia, soltanto mia
Vorrei tenerti qui vicino a me
Vorrei sentire ancor
Le tue parole
Quelle parole che non sento più
Il mondo intorno a noi non esisteva
Per la felicità che tu mi davi
Che me ne faccio ormai
Di tutti i giorni miei
Se nei miei giorni non ci sei più tu
Che vuole questa musica
Stasera
Che mi riporta un poco del passato
Che mi riporta un poco del tuo amore
Che mi riporta un poco di te
Che me ne faccio ormai
Di tutti i giorni miei
Se nei miei giorni non ci sei più tu
Che vuole questa musica
Stasera
Che mi riporta un poco del passato
Che mi riporta un poco del tuo amore
Che mi riporta un poco di te
Un poco di te

What does this music want tonight?
Stasera
Tonight
Che mi riporta un poco del passato
That brings me back a little of the past
La luna ci teneva compagnia
The moon kept us company
Io ti sentivo mia, soltanto mia, soltanto mia
I felt you were mine, only mine, only mine
Vorrei tenerti qui vicino a me
I would like to keep you close to me
Adesso che fra noi non c'è più nulla
Now that there's nothing left between us
Vorrei sentire ancor
I would like to hear again
Le tue parole
Your words
Quelle parole che non sento più
Those words that I don't hear anymore
Il mondo intorno a noi non esisteva
The world around us didn't exist
Per la felicità che tu mi davi
Because of the happiness you gave me
Che me ne faccio ormai
What do I do now
Di tutti i giorni miei
With all of my days
Se nei miei giorni non ci sei più tu
If you're not in my days anymore
Che mi riporta un poco del tuo amore
That brings me back a little of your love
Che mi riporta un poco di te
That brings me back a little of you
Un poco di te
A little bit of you
