adesso per sempre

[cp1778]

ciao a tutti

I am trying to translate L'Appuntamento but one of the phrases has me confused

adesso per sempre = now, forever?
or
adesso per sempre = now and forever?

The complete line is "adesso per sempre non esisto"

grazie mille

Adesso per sempre non esisto

I would say it is something on the lines of "now for always I don't exist"...maybe wait for another reply though!

Ciao

cio and welcome here cp1778.
I think it's a matter of interpretations,
I mean

the sentence is
Amore perdono ma non resisto...
adesso per sempre non esisto

my love, I forgive you but I can't resist....
and now I'm not existing anymore

 

[Silvia]

I would translate it as: from now on I don't exist (anymore).

I gave it my best effort I hope I didn't miss the phrases that don't translate literally into English. Thanks for your help with this.

L’APPUNTAMENTO ~ ORNELLA VANONI

Ho sbagliato tante volte ormai che lo so già
che oggi quasi certamente
sto sbagliando su di te ma una volta in più
che cosa può cambiare nella vita mia...
accettare questo strano appuntamento
è stata una pazzia!
The rest here


I’ve been wrong many times before that I already know

That today almost certainly

I’ll be wrong about you once again

What can I change in my life

Accepting this strange appointment

It is sheer madness

I am sad among the people

That I am passing by

But the nostalgia of seeing you again

Is stronger than tears

This sunlight lifts my spirit

A sign of hope

I am waiting when all at once

I see you coming in the distance

Love, be quick, I can’t resist

If you don’t arrive I don’t exist

I don’t exist, I don’t exist

The weather changed and it started to rain

But I say and wait

It isn’t important to me what the world will think

It won’t make me want to leave

I look inside myself and wonder

But I don’t feel anything

I am only a remnant of hope

Lost among the people

Love, it’s already late and I cant resist

If you don’t arrive I don’t exist

I don’t exist, I don’t exist

Lights, cars, windows, streets

One and all were mixed up in my mind

My shadow grew tires of following me

The day slowly dies

I won’t stay so that I can return to my home

To my sad life

The life that I wanted to give to you

That you crumbled between your fingers

Love, pardon me but I can’t resist

Now and forever I don’t exist

I don’t exist, I don’t exist

It wasn't a matter of being inconsiderate. I didn't realize, my mistake.
