Il fiume dei profumi [English translation]

My love

I'm writing you

From very far

But I can't tell you the day

Nor the hour

My love

I'm sending you

A kiss so real

I can feel on my lips

Your saliva

Here's hot and the night is endless

And caresses are bombs

That keep me awake.

My love

Soon

We'll change position

And we'll walk to the river

Of the scents

Where soldiers on the shore

Write poems

And rediscover familiar tastes

My love

May it be the last thing [I do]

As soon as I'll be back I'll take you to Europe

This war will end

My love

If you still think about me

If you find it difficult, remember that Italian dance

And you'll see we're not that far apart

What's your name

Have we met already

The classic sentence

To start a dance

But call me whatever you want

And make me dance like this

Like this

My love

You're writing me

From the river of the scents

Where other than leaves afloat

There's memories

And the things

That at times

Seemed trivial

Lived from afar

Become more

And this war in the end

It doesn't belong to us

Peace will come and it will bring you

My love

May it be the last thing [I do]

As soon as I'll be back I'll take you to Europe

This war will end

My love

If you still think about me

If you find it difficult, remember that Italian dance

And you'll see we're not that far apart

Far apart

But what's your name
