| I am alone but adored | Solo, eppure idolo d'una moltitudine cieca, |
| By a hundred thousand more | venerato da cento mila sguardi stranieri, |
| Then I sin when you were the last — | ho peccato, quando tu fosti l’ultima — |
| And I have known love | e ho assaporato l’amore |
| Like a whore | come chi si vende all’alba, |
| From atleast ten thousand more | da almeno diecimila notti disperse, |
| Then I swore when you were the last — | e ho giurato, quando tu fosti l’ultima — |
| When you were the last high | quando fosti l’ultimo vertice, |
| Igh-igh-igh | Igh-igh-igh |
| You were awake | Tu vegliavi tra le ombre del mattino, |
| And I should’ve stayed | e io dovevo restare, |
| But wondered | ma l’anima mia si fece domanda, |
| I was only out for a day | ero uscito soltanto per una giornata, |
| Out for a day | perso solo per una giornata, |
| It was Chicago for a moment and then | per un attimo fu Chicago sul vetro bagnato, poi, |
| It was Paris and London for a few days | Parigi e Londra per qualche giorno soltanto, |
| But I am alone but adored | eppure solo, ma adorato |
| By a hundred thousand more | da cento mila cuori come vento disperso, |
| Then I swore when you were the last- | ho giurato ancora, quando fosti l’ultima — |
| When you were the last high | quando fosti l’ultimo vertice, |
| Igh-igh-igh | Igh-igh-igh |
| When you were the last high | quando fosti l’ultimo vertice, |
| Igh-igh-igh | Igh-igh-igh |
| I was the first to have spoken | io fui il primo a sciogliere la voce, |
| And I said just about | e pronunciai quasi tutto |
| All of the things you shouldn’t say | ciò che mai si dovrebbe sussurrare, |
| So maybe you loved me but now | forse mi amavi, ma ora |
| Maybe you dont | forse no |
| And maybe you’ll call me Maybe you wont | e forse chiamerai — o forse tacerai |
| So I am alone but adored | così resto solo, ma amato, |
| By a hundred thousand more | da cento mila estranei sospiri, |
| Then I sin when you were the last — | ho peccato, quando fosti l’ultima — |
| And I have known love | e ho conosciuto l’amore |
| Like a whore | come chi si consuma nella polvere, |
| From atleast ten thousand more | da almeno diecimila abbracci svaniti, |
| Then I swore when you were the last — | e ho giurato, quando fosti l’ultima — |
| When you were the last high | quando fosti l’ultimo vertice, |
| Igh-igh-igh | Igh-igh-igh |
| And you were the last high | e tu fosti l’ultimo vertice, |
| Igh-igh-igh | Igh-igh-igh |
