Iris [tra le tue poesie] [English translation]

Iris among your poems

I've found something about me

you've written all them with blue ink

on pieces of paper found here and there

tell me where tell me how

and with what you listened my life

when I wasn't with you

and what flavors and what moods, what pains and what perfumes you breathed

when you weren't with me

Iris I have to tell you

I love you and you know

I've never said it

how much life there is...how much life with you

you who love and...you who never reproach it

and you never stop to show yourself as you are

how much life there is in this life with you

my name...say it softly...

I'd like to hear it whisper now

that I'm close to you

your voice, I hear it

it sounds like a wave that brings me the sea

but what more

Iris I told you I love you

and if you've liked this stay with me

how much life there is...how much life with you

you who love and...you who never reproach it

and you never stop to show yourself as you are

how much life there is in this life with you

tell me where tell me how

and with what you listened my life

when I wasn't with you

the flavors and the moods, what pains

what perfumes you breathed

when you weren't with me

Iris I truly love you

and if you like this stay with me
