Pesche [English translation]

Pa ra pa, pa ra pa pa

I would like to let myself go

but time is needed

to change habits,

to dance a slow dance.

I can’t get used

to another person who, perhaps, is you.

You misunderstood,

I wanted to run away and never come back

instead, if I’m here, it’s because

I would truly like to tell you everything about me.

I don’t know if you remember about how long

it took for me to tell you that I don’t eat peaches.

I don’t know if you remember that I cried

only for you on certain worse evenings.

I swear to you that (pa ra pa pa)

for nothing in this world I would ever change you. (Pa ra pa pa)

I get lost in those eyes you have, (pa ra pa pa)

a thousand flaws and imperfections,

but if this is not love, what is it?

Peaches.

I got nothing to do,

I absentmindedly watch a film.

I think about that white skin of yours

and about your new cat.

I can’t get used

to another person who, perhaps, is you.

I don’t want to be mistaken,

the best things never come back

and now that I’m here it’s because

I would truly like to tell you everything about me.

I don’t know if you remember about how long

it took for me to tell you that I don’t eat peaches.

I don’t know if you remember that I cried

only for you on certain worse evenings.

I swear to you that (pa ra pa pa)

for nothing in this world I would ever change you. (Pa ra pa pa)

I get lost in those eyes you have, (pa ra pa pa)

a thousand flaws and imperfections,

but if this is not love, what is it?

Peaches.

How much time is left

before it becomes day?

Mm, mm, I’m not able to speak

and you neither (neither you, neither you).

I don’t know if you remember about how long

it took for me to tell you that I don’t eat peaches.

I don’t know if you remember that I cried

only for you on certain worse evenings.

I swear to you that (pa ra pa pa)

for nothing in this world I would ever change you. (Pa ra pa pa)

I get lost in those eyes you have, (pa ra pa pa)

a thousand flaws and imperfections,

but if this is not love, what is it?

Peaches.
