Per te [English translation]

You are still asleep, love.

I am awake and looking at you.

Reading with my fingers,

I tell you what you are to me.

I know that, in all the men I loved,

I was searching only for you.

And, for you, my eyes will close—

for an instant, I will die.

I have never lived before.

For you, this morning will be born

a woman who has

never embraced,

nor ever kissed—

that woman you desire.

Outside, the day breaks slowly.

I cry while looking at you.

I would like to clasp your hand,

but maybe, right now, you are dreaming of me.

And I know that, in all the men I loved,

I was searching only for you.

And, for you, my eyes will close—

for an instant, I will die.

I have never lived before.

For you, this morning will be born

a woman who has

never embraced,

nor ever kissed—

that woman you desire.
