La festa è appena cominciata
È già finita
Il cielo non è più con noi
Il nostro amore era l'invidia
Di chi è solo
Era il mio orgoglio
La tua allegria

È stato tanto grande ormai
Non sa morire
Per questo canto e canto te
La solitudine che tu
Mi hai regalato
Io la coltivo come un fiore

Chissà se finirà
Se un nuovo sogno
La mia mano prenderà
Se a un'altra io dirò
Le cose che dicevo a te

Ma oggi devo dire che
Ti voglio bene
Per questo canto e canto te
È stato tanto grande ormai
Non sa morire
Per questo canto e canto a te

Chissà se finirà
Si un nuovo sogno
La mia mano prenderà
Se a un'altra io dirò
Le cose che dicevo a te

Ma oggi devo dire che
Ti voglio bene
Per questo canto e canto te
È stato tanto grande ormai
Non sa morire
Per questo canto e canto te
