Era troppo carina e non era per me
She was too nice and she was not for me
Era troppo felice e non era per me
She was too happy and she was not for me
Con il vento d’estate è venuta da me
With the summer wind she went away from me
Se fuggiva la vita o l’amore non so
I don't know whether she was running away from life or love
Era troppo felice, tu sai bene chi sei
She was too happy, you know very well who you are
Per amarla una vita quello giusto non sei
To love her for a life, you are not the right one
Così ora è partita ed io non saprò mai
Like this now she has departed and I will never know
Se poteva restare una vita con me
If she could have stayed a lifetime with me
È venuto l’autunno e non era per lei
Autumn has come and it was not for her
Se n’è andata cercando un’estate per lei
If she has gone to look for the summer for herself
Sono rimasto da solo ed il vento per me
I have remained alone and the wind makes
Fa cadere le foglie che non servono più
the leaves who are of no use anymore fall
Qui l’estate è lontana col ricordo di lei
Here, summer is far away with the memory of her
Ora tutto è finito, lei non era per me
Now everything is over, she was not for me
Se n’è andata col sole e ha lasciato per me
If she has gone with the sun and has left for me
Solo foglie d’autunno e il ricordo di lei
only the autumn leaves and the memory of her
