L'encre de tes yeux [English translation]

Because we're never going to live together

Because we're crazy, because we're alone

Because there are so many of them

Even morality speaks for them

I would still like to tell you

For all that I was able to write

I drew the ink out of your eyes.

I never saw that you wore chains

Out of wanting too much to look at you

I forgot my own

We dreamed of Venice and of freedom

I would still like to tell you

All that I was able to write

It was your smile that dictated it to me.

You will come walk in my dreams for a long time

You will always come from the side

Where the sun rises

And if despite that I end up forgetting you

I would still like to tell you

All that I was able to write

Will for a long time carry the scent of regret.

But because we're never going to live together...
