Un uomo [English translation]

SHE DIDN'T KNOW BUT SHE WAS WAITING FOR A MAN

TO HIT HER LIKE A THUNDER

TO CALM HER DOWN LIKE A MERCY

THAT POSSESSED AND WAS A GIFT

SHE HAD BEEN A LONG TIME WAITING FOR A MAN

TO HYPNOTIZE HER WITH THE ONLY SOUND

OF HIS SWEET AND CLEVER

THAT SHE COULDN'T STAND

THAT MAKES HER FEEL INTELLIGENT

BEAUTIFUL, *****Y AND ELEGANT

AS IF SHE WAS NAKED BETWEEN THE PEOPLE

BUT PURE AND SAINT AS A DIAMOND

A SWEET AND HARD MAN IN LOVE

THAT CAN TAKE AND THEN GIVE

TO ****, TALK AND EAT WITH

AND THEN LET HIM MAKE YOU LOVE AGAIN

TO BE BURYED IN HIS SMELL

THAT STAYS IN HER FOR HOURS

AND SHE NEVER WANTS TO WASH IT AWAY

NOT TO RISK TO FORGET

THAT REMINDS HER THAT HE CAN LOVE

A MAN THAT CAN MAKE HER SURE

THAT MAKES HER DARE TO DREAM

AS SHE NEVER HAS BEEN ABLE TO IMAGINE

A MAN FULL OF SUNSETS

OF INSTANTS, TALES, HORIZONTS

THAT LOOKS AT OU AND SAYS "WHAT DO YOU FEEL?"

AS IF HE WAS ABLE TO READ YOUR FEELINGS

A SENSELESS MAN

EVEN A BIT FRAGILE BUT SO INTENSE

WITH THAT SMELL OF SMOKE

OF TOBACCO AND WINE AND EVEN OF INCENSE

UNPRESENTABLE TO YOUR PARENTS

SO COHERENT EVEN IN HIS MISTAKES

JUST TO YOU THAT TILL THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY

YOU EVEN CONTROLLED YOUR DESIRES

YOU THAT USED TO LIVE WITH THE ILLUSION

TO DOMINATE EVERY PASSION

YOU THAT USED TO DESPISE TOO MUCH EMOTIONS

AS AN ENEMY OF THE REASON

YOU'VE NEVER BEEN SO RELAXED

SERENE AND CALM

SO ALIVE AND LOST

AS IF YOU'D JUST REFIND YOURSELF
