| Era l'ultimo del gruppo, non rideva quasi mai E nessuno lo notava neanche quando lo sperava. |
He was the last in the gang, he never smiled And nobody noticed him, not even when they were waiting for him. |
| Quando un giorno una ragazza, bella come nessun'altra Venne a far parte del gruppo, tutti furono ai suoi piedi. |
When, a day, a girl, nice as nobody else Came to join the group, everyone was on her foots. |
| Nessuno mai pensava che, fra tutti quanti guardasse lui E quel suo sguardo triste e profondo per un istante sembrò svanire. |
Nobody would have thinked that, among all them, she would look at him And his sad and deep sight, for an instant, seemed to vanish. |
| Nei giorni appresso chi ricordava, vedeva sempre due occhi tristi Ma da quel giorno nessuno più, aveva visto né lui né lei. |
The days after who was remembering, only saw two sad eyes But from that day on, no one had seen either him or her. |
