Je sto vicino a te [English translation]

I'm staying near you,

Surrounded by hundreds1 of gaggles.

I'm staying near you,

Until you fall asleep.

I'm staying near you,

Because the wolrd is “dirty”2.

[And] Don’t try to understand:

It’s better if you sleep [my dear]

Why are we talking?

We’re always saying the same things:

to fret3 ourselves

and not to fulfill our needs.

We fly into a rage

because we try every day to understand [each other].

I'm staying near you,

for not failing4

And I always stay near you

whatever the hardship5.

I'm staying near you,

and the hundreds of gaggles around me

make me impossible to “hear”

if you’re sleeping or you are awake.
