Hear out my tortured soul
For I have nowhere else to go
te captured my dead, Frozen heart
Now yours and mine’ll never be apart

And in my cuore you’ll always stay

Believe me, for this I vow
My Ribelle - The Brave and trusting love
From the heavens above
I’ll do everything for you
And I’ll always be true
When te called out my name
My life had never been the same
te kept my feet on the ground
‘Cause my purpose had been found
Your Cioccolato brown eyes
Are honest and wise
Through them I could see
How te irrevocably Amore me
For I have nowhere else to go
te captured my dead, Frozen heart
Now yours and mine’ll never be apart

And in my cuore you’ll always stay

Believe me, for this I vow
My Ribelle - The Brave and trusting love
From the heavens above
I’ll do everything for you
And I’ll always be true
When te called out my name
My life had never been the same
te kept my feet on the ground
‘Cause my purpose had been found
Your Cioccolato brown eyes
Are honest and wise
Through them I could see
How te irrevocably Amore me
