Ragazza di periferia [English translation]

Girl from the Suburbs:

You

Left awhile ago.

You decided that

It was not right, you were no longer in love.

Hands

On my face

Searching for a strength that I don’t have.

I want to die quickly

So…

It will not be right, but it is like that.

The dawn that will come,

Will not have a new love for me.

My heart

Aches.

It beats a little slower inside of me.

It’s weak, the normalcy

Of feeling free and

With you

I have spent all my years

What will I do

Of these sentences written on the telephone?

Life together with you brought life to my heart.

This indestructable love.

What will I do?

I will reread them

So as to then think that

Of you

Only one message will remain.

But the truth

Is only an injury inside the soul

That reopens all the time

That thoughts give unrepeatable scenes to.

Your lie

To a girl from the suburbs.

And you

Boy of the city,

I will meet you

Talking with your friends,

Perhaps,

For a game.

Upon my story you will laugh

For my foolish evenings

Where you pretended a thrill

With you

I spent all my years

What will I do

With these sentences written on the telephone?

Life together with you brought life to my heart.

This indestructable love...

What will I do?

I will reread them

So as to then think that

Of you

Only a message will remain

But the truth

Is only an injury inside the soul

That will reopen all the time

That thoughts give unrepeatable scenes to.

Your lie

To a girl from the suburbs.
