Mi Manchi - 1997 Digital Remaster

Così a distanza d′anni aprì la mano
E aveva tre monete d'oro finto
Forse per questo non sorrise
Forse per questo non disse "ho vinto"
Richiuse il pugno, roba di un minuto
Per non sentirlo vuoto
E mi manchi.
E la ragazza fece op-là una sera
E fu un op-là da rimanerci incinta
Vestì di bianco ch′era primavera
E nella polaroid sorrise convinta
Fecero seguito invitati misti
E dodici antipasti
E mi manchi, mi manchi, e mi manchi

E quando dodici anni fa dal bagno
Gli disse "è tardi, devo andare..."
Pensò che si trattasse di un impegno
Non dodici anni senza ritornare
Da allora vinse quasi sempre tutto
E smise di pensare
E mi manchi, mi manchi, e mi manchi

Ma finchè canto ti ho davanti
Gli anni sono solo dei momenti
Tu sei sempre stata qui davanti.

So many years later, he opened his hand,
And it contained three coins of fake gold.
Perhaps that's why he didn't smile,
Perhaps that's why he didn't say, "I've won."
He closed his fist, it only took a minute,
To keep it from feeling empty.
And I miss you.
And one evening, the girl said "voilà,"
And it was a "voilà" that left her pregnant.
She wore white because it was spring,
And in the Polaroid she smiled with conviction.
They were followed by a varied group of guests
And twelve appetizers.
And I miss you, I miss you, and I miss you.

And twelve years ago, from the bathroom,
She said to him, "It's late, I have to go..."
He thought it was just an errand,
Not twelve years without returning.
From then on, he almost always won everything,
And he stopped thinking.
And I miss you, I miss you, and I miss you.

But as long as I sing, I have you before me,
The years are just moments,
You have always been here before me.
