Un sorriso
Don Backy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Solo con un'ombra di un sorriso
Spezzavi il vuoto che si trova in me
Le stelle già si spengono nel ciel
Il tuo sorriso già si è spento nel mio cuor
E il nuovo giorno che domani nascerà
Ti troverà felice sai
Ma tutto il bene che c'è in me
Lacrime, voi siete nate da un sorriso
Dal suo sorriso che ora vola su nel cielo
Ma non per me, no, non sarà per me
Se tu dovessi piangere per me
Ripeti che non stai piangendo per amor
Ma per qualcuno che non hanno amato mai
Fai finta poi d'aver pietà
Del grande amore che c'è in me
Ed il mio cuore morirà
