Jenny [English translation]

Jenny is 16 years old and she has blue eyes,

With her hair like a wheat she is walking barefoot towards the city searching for a face of a boy

Who does not dream any more.

She is squeezing a photo in the hand

But where to find him, she does not know it,

Pushed with a cosmic energy,

She sees a suffocated body from this callous reality.

She is recognizing him

Because he never laughs.

Jenny is an island,

Ave Maria of the shipwrecked.

A small light

Which will shine

In the darker moments

For him.

Jenny is accompanying him to his home,

She feels his thoughts and sadness

Which stifles with its mass

And she is saving his heart from the pain of his madness

While the world goes away

Without having the pity.

Jenny is an anchor,

The ground on the nose of a ship for week people,

A cloud

Which rains with confetti.

She is a fairy-tale

And she stays in this reality

For him, for him.

Jenny is Africa,

The nostalgia of shudders,

She is a crumb

Which will feed loneliness.

Jenny is a blue sky,

A miracle,

A moment

Which lights him up

In the darker moments.

Jenny is 16 years old and she is walking away

Barefoot and she does not know

That she is an angel.
