Un'ultima carezza - Luigi Tenco

Volevo darti un’ultima carezza

Ma tutto era finito ormai per noi

Volevo dirti un’ultima parola

Ma tu piangevi quando ti lasciai

Ora tu, tu dove sei?

Quell’ultima carezza aspetta te

Mi sento chiuse in gola le parole

Che non ho deto prima di lasciarti

Volevo avere un ultimo sorriso

Da ricordare insieme agli occhi tuoi

Ma in quell’attimo ormai

Gia' lontana eri tu

E niente di niente resto'

I wanted to give you one last caress

But it was all over for us now

I wanted to tell you one last word

But you were crying when I left you

Now you, where are you?

That last caress awaits you

I feel the words locked in my throat

Which I didn't say before I left you

I wanted to have one last smile

To remember together with your eyes

But in that moment now

You were already far away

And nothing at all remains'
