Paramparça [English translation]

I don't have a watch, I don't know exactly what time it is

It was a little beer, a little wine ago

How come time won't pass

But whole years and lives pass by?

I am like a suitcase lost at the airport

Or an empty pool in the fall

Is it too much to still ask for happiness?

Never mind, I don't have the energy anyway

It's my birthday today

I am drunk and I am grieving

Perched on a bar stool

I am the same age my dad died

Words are getting stuck in my throat

All lives I have known

Broken apart, broken apart

I don't have the energy but I still clung to the phone

To ask for forgiveness from all the women I love one last time

I called but hung up when I got voicemails

I am one of those people who can't talk to answering machines
