Uomini farfalla [English translation]

It's lately happened to me,

at the beginning I didn't understand.

Something was up

like a wind over the lake

and the conversation got sharper

and once in a while it snowed

on the bed and among the looks

even when he touched me.

I had almost fallen in love

with a somehow stormy friend,

so easily manly

with no censorships in his head.

And we often stayed with him,

too much, you know, for my taste.

I wanted either one or the other,

I don't like sad games, but

the idea of a yes,

the idea of having two of them in my heart,

the idea bloomed almost hurting me,

the idea started, who knows from where.

I said a yes of great love.

I had drunk a bit too much

but I was certain I liked it,

and I quickly unhooked my soul

so it wasn't a slave anymore,

and I spread on my whole body

the oil of my desire;

I met them together in the dark

towards the path.

the idea of a yes,

the idea of having two of them in my heart,

the idea bloomed almost hurting me,

the idea of a yes from a future so full

he made me fall in love with his colors...

And the colors in the dark

are as heavy as the hands

but my butterfly men,

God, how far they were!

I looked them as they caressed each other,

doing their rainbow,

almost hard tendernesses

grown on my breasts.

The idea of a yes,

the idea of having two of them in my heart,

the idea ended up hurting me too much.

Tonight I'm going to find some friends less

and some more holes

in the sky.
