I Miei Occhi Sono I Tuoi Occhi - The Limiñanas

Quando quel giorno mi hai detto che saresti partito

Non mi hai parlato di colpe

Mi hai soltanto guardato

Quando quel giorno mi hai detto che saresti partito

Non mi hai parlato di colpe

Mi hai soltanto guardato

E ho capito

Ho capito che non saresti mai più tornato

Lì per lì è stato un sollievo

Ma ti ho odiato

E ti ho odiato per così tanti anni

Ed eri sparito quando ritornai

Ed eri sparito per mai più tornar

Non hai detto molto per far ricordar

Di quando eri padre

I giorni passano e tu non ci sei

Dell’astio ho provato

Memoria non ho

E guardo allo specchio gli occhi miei

Sono gli stessi, stessi occhi tuoi

Il tempo è passato e io sono invecchiata

E ti sei perso tutto il mio diventare grande

Ma ancora mi ricordo e mai dimenticherò

Quella notte

Quella notte quando piangevi ai piedi del mio letto

Io non so se era estate se era inverno

So che non sentivo né caldo

E non sentivo freddo

E ho fatto finta di dormire

Ed eri sparito quando ritornai

Ed eri sparito per mai più tornar

Non hai detto molto per far ricordar

Di quando eri padre

I giorni passano e tu non ci sei

Dell’astio ho provato

Memoria non ho

E guardo allo specchio gli occhi miei

Sono gli stessi, stessi occhi tuoi

Rabbia e poi disgusto

Indifferenza e poi pietà

Tristezza e colpa per non aver mai saputo chi sei

Tu mi hai voluta e tu mi hai abbandonata

Tu mi hai lasciato crescere dimenticandoti

Ma quando mi guardo allo specchio so che i miei occhi sono i tuoi occhi

Oggi vorrei averti detto addio

Ma è troppo tardi

When that day you told me you were leaving

You didn't tell me about faults

You just looked at me

When that day you told me you were leaving

You didn't tell me about faults

You just looked at me

And I got it

I realized you would never come back

There and then it was a relief

But I hated you

And I've hated you for so many years

And you were gone when I returned

And you were gone to never come back

You didn't say much to make people remember

When you were a father

Days go by and you're not there

I tried some hatred

I have no memory

And I look at my eyes in the mirror

They are the same, same eyes as yours

Time has passed and I have grown old

And you missed all my growing up

But I still remember and never will forget

That night

That night when you were crying at the foot of my bed

I don't know if it was summer if it was winter

I know it didn't feel hot either

And I didn't feel cold

And I pretended to sleep

And you were gone when I returned

And you were gone to never come back

You didn't say much to make people remember

When you were a father

Days go by and you're not there

I tried some hatred

I have no memory

And I look at my eyes in the mirror

They are the same, same eyes as yours

Anger and then disgust

Indifference and then pity

Sadness and guilt for never knowing who you are

You wanted me and you abandoned me

You let me grow up forgetting you

But when I look in the mirror I know my eyes are your eyes

Today I wish I said goodbye

But it's too late
