| Maria Teresa forse troppa fantasia, | Maria Teresa, perhaps too much imagination | |
| giornate uguali, poche notti di follia, | days all the same, few nights of folly | |
| fragili ricordi, | fragile memories | |
| sulla fronte qualche ruga in piu’ | a few more lines on the forehead | |
| volti appena scorti, | faces barely seen | |
| poco amore nella gioventu’ | little love in youth | |
| Giovanni ha gli occhi come un cielo a primavera | Giovanni has eyes like a sky in spring | |
| e i suoi vent’anni sono un varco alla frontiera, | and his 20 years are a breach in the frontier | |
| soffre d’innocenza, | He suffers from innocence | |
| prende dalla vita quel che c’e’ | takes what there is from life | |
| come in una danza | As in a dance | |
| lui si aspetta che con te | He expects that with you | |
| non resteranno giorni bui | there will be no more dark days | |
| se solo tu sarai con lui | if only you will be with him | |
| fin quando tu lo cercherai | as long as you look for him | |
| finche’ al suo amore crederai | as long as you believe in his love | |
| finche’ vincerai | as long as you win | |
| fino a quando sulle soglie del suo mondo | as long as on the thresholds of his world | |
| lui vorra’ sapere che ci sei | he will want to know that you are (there) | |
| Maria Teresa quanta gente non approva | Maria Teresa, how many people don’t approve | |
| quell’espressione, quella faccia quasi nuova | that expression, that face almost new | |
| frugano i tuoi sogni | they rifle through your dreams | |
| alzando le barriere dell’eta’ | raising the barriers of age | |
| contano i tuoi giorni, | they count your days | |
| pesano la tua diversita’ | and weigh your diversity | |
| Maria Teresa quanta voglia di poesia, | Maria Teresa, how much desire for poetry | |
| convalescente di un’eterna malattia | convalescent of an eternal malady | |
| la tua strada aperta | your open road | |
| mostra della vita quel che c’? | demonstrates what there is of life | |
| fuori dalla porta | outside the door | |
| lui si aspetta che con te | He expects that with you | |
