Amico fragile [English translation]

Evaporated in a red cloud

embrasures of the night

With a little need for love and affection

Too much "If you love me you have to cry"

someone to reciprocate,

worth it to enjoy your summer evenings

simple "I remember":

watch you rent a kilogram of grass

retired peasants and their women

liberally gift oceans

waves to the sailors on duty

Until I could discover your hiding places one by one

Without regretting my credulity:

Because even since the first trench

curious than you

curious than you.

suspended among your "How are you?"s

Astonished by less common and crueler phrases

"friend, my fragile friend,

If you want I can take care of you one hour each month"

"Do you know I lost two children?"

"you're a pretty distracted woman"

still killed by your courtesy

when one of my dreams

second row dancer

swinging for some unknown future

present of huge breasts

recent C-section

thought it's beautiful that where my fingers end

guitar might begin, in some way.

And then sit down amongst your "goodbyes"

tired than you

tired than you

could tease the trousers of the unknown woman

Until I saw her mouth drop wide open

could ask any of my children

again negatively and loudly about me

could barter my guitar and his helm

wooden box saying "We will lose".

could ask you what's the name of your dog

Mine's been called Free for a while now.

could hire a cannibal a day

teach me my distance from the stars

I could go through liters and liters of coral

reach a place called "Goodbye".

never crossed my mind

drunker than you

drunker than you
