Laura Pausini e Gilberto Gil - Seamisai / Sei que me amavas

I absolutely LOVE this song. I have Italian ancestry but I think I have a Brazilian soul. Laura Pausini is nice but Gilberto Gil has such a sensual, sexy, enticing voice, he gets right into my romantic groove. I'm including the lyrics and translation as I am studying Italian....The video also has the Portuguese lyrics which have beautiful sound.
Give it a minute to load...it takes some patience....

Seamisai lyrics © Warner Chappell Music, Inc

Non dire no                                        Don't say no  
Che ti conosco e lo so cosa pensi      I know you and I know what you think             
Non dirmi no                                      Don't tell me no
È già da un po'                                   It's already been a some time
Che non ti sento parlare d'amore      That I haven't heard you talk about love or
Usare il tempo al futuro per noi        Using the future tense for us 
 
E non serve ripetere ancora               And there is no use in repeating again
che tu mi vuoi                                      that you love me
Perché ora non c'è quel tuo sorriso    Because now your smile for me
al mattino per me                                 in the morning has gone   
Perché non mi dai più niente di te       Because you give me nothing of yourself now

Se ami sai quando tutto finisce             If you love, you know when it all ends 
Se ami sai come un brivido triste         If you love you know like a sad shudder
Come in un film dalle scene già viste   Like a movie one's already seen   
Che se ne va, oh no                               That fades away, oh no 

 
Sai sempre quando una storia              You always know when a story
si è chiusa                                              has ended
E non si può più inventare una scusa    And one can no longer invent an excuse
Se ami prendi le mie mani                      If you love take my hands
Perché prima di domani finirà               Because before tomorrow it will end 
E non si può                                            And you can't 
chiudere gli occhi e far finta di niente    close your eyes and pretend there is nothing  
Come fai tu quando resti con me            Like you do when you lie by my side


E non trovi il coraggio di dirmi              And you don't have the courage 
                                                                 to tell me
"che cosa c'è"                                          "what's going on"

Sarà dentro di me come                           Inside me it will be
una notte d'inverno perché                       like a winter night because 
Sarà da oggi in poi senza di te                 It will be from now on I'm without you
 
Se ami sai quando tutto finisce                 If you love, you know when it all ends
Se ami sai come un brivido triste             If you love, you know like a sad shudder 
Come in un film dalle scene già viste       Like a movie one's already seen
Che se ne va, oh no                                   That fades away, oh no

Sai bene quando inizia il dolore                You really know when the pain begins
E arriva la fine più una storia d'amore      It comes at the very end of a love story 
Se ami prendi le mie mani                          If you love, take my hands
Perché prima di domani                             Because before tomorrow
Te ne andrai                                                You will go away

Non sarai                                                    You will not be
Qui con me                                                  Here with me

If you love you know

Don’t say “no”, as I know you and I know
what you think
don’t tell me “no”.
It’s been some time now that I haven’t heard you
talking of love
using the future tense for us
and there’s no use in repeating to me again that you love me
because now that smile of yours in the mornings
has disappeared
because you don’t give me anything of yourself anymore.
If you love you know when everything is over
if you love you know, like a sad shudder
like a film whose scenes you’ve seen before
and that it’s going away now, oh no!
You always know when a story has concluded
and it’s not possible to make up more excuses
if you love, take my hands
as before tomorrow arrives
it’ll be over.
And it’s not possible
to close your eyes and pretend nothing happens
as you try and do when you’re by my side
and you don’t have the courage to tell me what’s going on
inside me it’ll be like a winter
night because
from now on I’ll be without you
If you love you know when everything is over
if you love you know, like a sad shudder
like a film whose scenes you’ve seen before
and that it’s going away now, oh no!
You know very well when the pain sets on
and the end of a love story has arrived
but if you love, take my hands
as before tomorrow arrives
you’ll leave, you won’t be
here with me
