Necessità lunatica [English translation]

It wasn’t you--who promissed scripted moments,

Something different from the routine.

It wasn’t you--who deceived me with her showy behavior,

Dancing in the rain with high heels.

And I met you by chance.

Your car didn’t start.

“I’m sorry. Can you come help me?”

A minute later, you kissed me as if it were nothing--

Like watching me die while you drink coffee.

But I pretended to be indifferent.

You’re the song that I don’t know how to sing,

This wound that I don’t know how to heal,

The chocolate that makes me happy

Or, perhaps, the grapes that I don’t know how to reach.

You’re the habit that I don’t want seen,

The pain that makes me feel

Out all my lives, you are the worst.

For all this, you are essentially

Unstable Desire

I wasn’t me--who interupted the sense of things.

The abuse loses coherence…

It wasn’t me--who erased a life written by hand.

Gambling with two splashes of perfume…

And you met me by chance

Just like you had met so many others--

Actors who do not play the lead in your film.

But, a minute later you kissed me,

As if it were nothing

Like watching me die while you drink coffee

But I pretended to be indifferent.

You’re the song that I don’t know how to sing,

This wound that I don’t know how to heal,

The chocolate that makes me happy

Or, perhaps, the grapes that I don’t know how to reach.

You’re the habit that I don’t want seen,

The pain that makes me feel

Out all my lives, you are the worst.

For all this, you are essentially

Unstable Desire

Desire, Desire.

You’re the song that I don’t know how to sing,

This wound that I don’t know how to heal,

The chocolate that makes me happy

Or, perhaps, the grapes that I don’t know how to reach.

You’re the habit that I don’t want seen,

The pain that makes me feel

Out all my lives, you are the worst.

For all this, you are essentially…
