| There she was like a picture | Là, come un ritratto soffuso di luce, |
| There she was, she was just the same | Là rimaneva, identica, specchio d’aurora antica, |
| There she was; he just had to know that she had forgot his name | Là, e lui doveva soltanto scoprire se aveva dissolto il suo nome tra le ombre. |
| Ulay, Ulay, Oh | Ulay, Ulay, Oh |
| Thinking back to the last time | Riflesso nell’eco dell’ultima volta, |
| On the wall as they turned away | Sul muro svanivano, due ombre che il tempo scortica, |
| Walking back; was it just a dream or did he hear her say: | Tornando sui suoi passi – sogno o riverbero? O fu la sua voce a fendere l’aria: |
| «Ulay, Ulay, Oh»? | «Ulay, Ulay, Oh»? |
| Trying his best to forget her | Sforzandosi d’estirparla dal cuore come rovo, |
| Trying his best to just keep his stride | Sforzandosi, passo dopo passo, di non perdere il ritmo segreto, |
| Kept his word, but he knows he heard: | Ha serbato la parola, ma sa che l’udiva ancora: |
| «Ulay, Ulay, Oh | «Ulay, Ulay, Oh |
| Ulay, Ulay, Oh» | Ulay, Ulay, Oh» |
| There she was like a picture | Là, come un’immagine in filigrana dorata, |
| There she was, she was just the same | Là, la stessa: antica, intatta, inviolata, |
| There she was; | Là — |
| he just had to know she had not forgot his name | E lui doveva soltanto sapere che nel tuo ricordo il suo nome ardeva ancora. |
| Ulay, Ulay, Oh | Ulay, Ulay, Oh |
| Ulay, Ulay, Oh | Ulay, Ulay, Oh |
| Ulay, Ulay, Oh | Ulay, Ulay, Oh |
| Ulay, Ulay, Oh | Ulay, Ulay, Oh |
| Ulay, Ulay, Oh | Ulay, Ulay, Oh |
| Ulay, Ulay, Oh | Ulay, Ulay, Oh |
| Ulay, Ulay, Oh | Ulay, Ulay, Oh |
