E ti amo ti amo da sempre
Anche se ti conosco da un giorno
Come un’Africa che si riempie
Di falò sotto un cielo notturno
E ti amo ti amo per sbaglio

And I love you, though I've known you...

And I love you, I’ve always loved you
Though I’ve known you for one day
Like an Africa that fills up
With fires under a night sky
And I love you I love you by mistake

je pense qu'il aurait été plus juste de dire
And I love you, I love you forever

Sybel, forever would be referred to future (from now on), while the text is referring to past (since yesterday to now). It says that he has been loving her since he first met her (one day ago).
I think the meaning is very well rendered here.

"by mistake"? That sounds negative - is it? If not, maybe "by chance" would be better.

Hmm. Several people voted against on this one, but I don't know why. I've re-set the voting, and let's see what happens.

For "by mistake", use "by accident". Accident has less sense of any error involved.

It would be great if UN'AFRICA could be translated too.
Literally it would be "An Africa" but I don't know how it sounds.

No, I think we can do that - it's poetic, anyway, isn't it?

The line I was talking about is the first one: "da sempre".
And Nava noticed that it's "a night sky".
I saw the negative votes and I really don't know why they do that all the time without letting a message. If they don't know why they are giving a negative vote, why do they vote? I'm just realizing that this vote thing it's often a waste of time. We should need "qualified" votes.

There are those who vote their own texts.

I vote my own text just to make it disappear from the left side of my page.
