Lei e lei [English translation]

She was my friend, too

She knew what to tell you when

without reason you were against me.

No, I'm not hiding that I

sometimes was a little troubled by her

Maybe I wanted her.

But there you were in my life

I had unconditionally chosen you

Your transparent and obstinate naivety,

the recklessness of our age.

But I imagined that looking at her,

fearing perhaps her confronting in you

would wake up the woman that you are

What I liked about her

I had hoped would flow into you.

You know, it was the abyss for me

The evening you said "go away",

you were more calm than ever.

But then what hurt me more

was when I asked: "But why, for whom?"

I looked at you behind your smile, she was there

In silence I looked at you both

That which you want, but never this.
