se perdo tutto

 

 

Luci di strada

accarezzano l’aria

che spoglia le chiome

mentre passi distratti

colorano d’ambra

e sono pronto a cadere.

 

Mi vestirò

di rumori lontani

a disturbare una calma apparente

scegliendo gemelli e cravatta

tanto l’uomo non conta

ormai

 

nei castelli di carte

crollati

sotto il peso del vuoto.

 

Sorrido di sassi e foglie sparse,

se perdo tutto

resti tu.

if I lose everithing

(my translation is only a faint attempt to render in English an Italian born text)

 

Street lights

caress the air

that sheds the crowns

while distracted steps

are colored in amber

and I'm ready to fall.

 

I will dress

with distant sounds

to disturb an apparent calm

choosing cufflinks and tie

but the man does not count

now

 

in the houses of cards

collapsed

under the weight of the vacuum.

 

Stones and scattered leaves make me smile,

if I lose everything

you're still with me.
