Cotidiano [English translation]

Every day she does the exact same thing

She shakes me awake at six in the morning

She gives me a punctual smile

And kisses me with her minty fresh lips1

Every day she says it's so that I take care of myself

And that stuff all women say

She says that she'll be waiting on me for dinner

And kisses me with her coffee-stained lips

Every day I just think about being able to quit

By midday I just think about saying no

Then I think about the life ahead of me

And I shut up my bean-filled mouth

Six p.m. as to be expected

She gets up and waits for me at the gate

She says that she's madly craving a kiss

And she kisses me with her passionate lips

Every night she tells me not to roll away

At midnight she swears eternal love

And she squeezes and nearly suffocates me

And she bites me with her terror-stricken lips

1. These last lines of every stanza are quite plainly "her mouth of mint/coffee/beans/passion/terror"; not sure how to best get these into English
