Ricordare,
ricordare e come un po' morire.
Tu adesso lo sai.
Perche tutto ritorna, anche se non vuoi.
E scordare,
e scordare e piu difficile.
Ora sai che e piu difficile, se vuoi ricominciare.
Ricordare, ricordare, come un tuffo in fondo al mare.
Ricordare, ricordare, quel che c'e da cancellare.
E scordare, e scordare, e che perdi cose care.
E scordare, e scordare, finiranno gioie rare.
E scordare, e scordare, e che perdi cose care.
Lyrics of Ricordare in English:
Remembering, remembering is like dying a little bit
now you know it
because everything comes around even if you don't want to
and forgetting,
and forgetting is harder
now you know it is harder
if you want to start over
remembering, remembering, like a dive into the sea
remembering, remembering what must be erased
and forgetting, and forgetting, is how you lose dear things
and [by] forgetting, and [by] forgetting, rare joys will end
and forgetting, and forgetting, is how you lose dear things
