E ti vengo a cercare [English translation]

And I come seeking for you

even only to see you or speak with you

Because I need your presence

to understand better my essence.

This popular feeling

is born from divine processes.

A mystic and sensual rapture

imprison me to you.

I should change my desires' object,

don't content myself with daily little joys

Being like a hermit

who renounce to his self.

And I come seeking for you,

with the excuse that I have to speak with you

because I like what you think and say

because I see my roots in you.

This century that is at its end by now

saturated with parasites without dignity

pushes me only into becoming something better

and with more will.

Emancipate myself from the nightmare of the passions

seeking the One above the Good and the Evil,

to be a divine image of this reality.

And I come seeking for you

because I feel good with you

because I need your presence.
