Barcarola [English translation]

On two seas and a thought flies slowly

this sailing ship

on an island which is not farther away than a disease

they're leisurely waiting for me like in a game

a dog, a safe dish 1

and a fire woman

but the sailing ship slower and slower

stops without courage and without wind

and the sea becomes stone

while the dog barks, the dish gets colder

the woman on the harbor, nervous up and down

goes around

For the whole night, another day on this wood 2

inside a smell of feet

like an idiot looking around me

while on the island the dish got empty

The woman, now annoyed, forgot about me

the dog after three days of hard waiting

just fell asleep

Then a night, different from the others

a night really puts everything in order

even the sailing ship restarts sailing

I'll search for a warm dish, something to eat

another woman can still be found

while I get off the ship

the dog woke up

comes to me and restarts barking

duh boo duh duh duh

duh boo duh duh duh

1. Safe meaning "I'm sure I'll have it"2. Metaphor for ship
