Tu non hai capito niente [English translation]

You understood nothing—

of how I am

and of how I would love you even more

if just once you sought me out.

You understood nothing—

you are there just waiting—

I always have to be

the first to ask for love.

Then as soon as I embrace you—

a hand in your hand—

then everything changes—

you become just like me—

but it is still something else—

it is just not the same thing—

it is the first move

that I would like from you.

You understood nothing—

but maybe you will understand

when, one day, I get tired

of you who is always just waiting—

and that day I will make you wait

to no avail.
