Persiana Americana [English translation]

I prefer you

out of focus,

untouchable.

I prefer you

irreversible,

almost untouchable.

Your clothes fall

slowly.

I'm a spy,

a spectator

and the fan

undresses you [rips your clothes off].

I know it excites you to think

how far will I go.

I know it's difficult to believe;

I think I will never know,

that only though this manner I will see you

Through my Persian blinds...

It's a nice sentence [punishment].

The moment before

is like a waste of energy [time].

It's a need

more than a desire

We are on the edge

of the roof's ledge [cornice]

Almost about to fall.

You're not afraid,

you keep on smiling.

I know it excites you to think

how far will I go.

I know it's difficult to believe

I think I will never know

only through this manner I will see you.

Through my Persian blinds...

Through my Persian blinds...

Whatever may happen

Do not waste your energy to understand

that only though this manner I will see you

Through my Persian blinds...

I know it's difficult to believe.

I think I will never know

that only though this manner I will see you.

Through my Persian blinds...

I know it's difficult to believe.

I think I will never know

than only though this manner I will see you.

Through my Persian blinds...
