לחיות [Leichiot] [English translation]

To hear Jazz in New Orleans

to live two years in Paris

to feel for a full day that nothing is missing

to make a marathon of Pedro Almodóvar films1

to cut my hair and color it red

to suddenly fall in love in the middle of the street

to drink alone a bottle of Jack Daniel

to allow your head to do what it will2

To sleep with her on the sea shore

not to feel guilt feelings

to learn to play at least one song on the piano

to be right but despite that to leave it alone

to parachute from a airplane, to run away from the law

to invent some perfume with the smell of an infant

to choose her again after many years have passed

to dance the Agadoo3at the wedding of your great grandchildren

To live without regret

or at least to attempt to be happy

as much as possible

and to live the time that remains

before the gate closes

To get lost in a foreign city

to pass a month or two on a boat

to sleep with your son in a tent pitched in the desert

to feel for a full day that nothing is missing

to read Tolstoy

to make the Sabbath

to change myself instantly

Because i was already fine as expected

so a moment before that life will change

To live without regret

or at least to attempt to be happy

as much as possible

and to live the time that remains

before the gate closes

When the day will come to pass on

the sentry will request that i say

a few last words before the gate closes

i would want to summarize

with a full heart it was worthwhile

i lived my life... i lived my life fully

To live without regret

or at least to attempt to be happy

as much as possible

and to live the time that remains

before the gate closes
