A estrada [English translation]

It’s raining and it got dark on the long highway.

What a long way! Just I and no one else!

I drive mile after mile thinking about her.

What a night! What a silence! If she knew

that I’m rushing thinking about her!

The cars on my way keep passing by,

I hear the noise of the accelerating lorries.

There are no people on the street and it’s raining,

The night is getting darker and I’m suffering,

rushing and thinking about her.

I keep driving on this highway without you,

not knowing if someday I’ll find you.

I accelerated.

At that time the bars are closed,

but love hotels always wait for you.

A train crosses the road, it’s very slow.

In the meantime my thoughts run fast,

thinking about her, thinking about her.

I keep driving on this highway without you,

not knowing if someday I’ll find you.

I accelerated.

Thinking, imagining, the pain grows,

my car started sliding on a bend,

the brakes overheated

and the speedometer shows 160.

I keep driving on this highway without you,

not knowing if someday I’ll find you.

I accelerated.

It’s raining and the night seems to have no end.

Jealousy drives me crazy when I think about her.

Lost in doubts and fog

I don’t realize I almost ran out of gas.

It’s raining and it got dark on the long highway,

I don’t even feel the silence of the wee hours.

It’s raining and it got dark on the long highway,

I don’t know if she’s waiting for me, I don’t know anything anymore.

It’s raining and it got dark on the long highway.

What a night! Just I and no one else!
