La cura [English translation]

I will protect you from the hypochondria fears

from the worries that you'll encounter during your life

from the injustice and the deceit of your times,

from the failures that you will cause by your nature.

I will relieve you of the pains and of your mood swings

of the obsessions of your mania.

I will overcome the gravitational currents

the space and the light, in order not to make you grow old;

and you'll be cured of all diseases.

because you're a special [human] being

and I'll take care of you.

I was wandering the fields of Tennessee

who knows how I got there

don't you have white flowers for me?

faster than eagles, my dreams

cross the sea.

Above all, I will bring you the silence and the patience

we'll walk together through the paths that lead to the essence.

The love fragrances will intoxicate our bodies

the August stillness won't calm our senses.

I will weave your hair like the plot of a poem

I know the laws of the world and I'll offer them to you.

I will overcome the gravitational currents

the space and the light, in order not to make you grow old;

I will save you from any melancholy.

because you're a special [human] being

and I will take care of you.

[Unlike other people] I will take care of you.
