LONELINESS

Marco's gone away and he won't come back anymore

Without him the 7:30 train

Is only a metal heart without a soul

In the cold of a gray city morning

At school the desk is empty, Marco is inside me

His breath is sweet among my thoughts.

Huge distances seem to divide us,

But my heart beats quickly inside me

 

Who knows if you'll think about me,

If you ever speak with your parents,

If you hide yourself as I do:

You shun their looks and you lock yourself

In your room and you don't want

To eat and you hug your pillow close to you

You don't know how to cry

Nor how much more the loneliness will hurt you

 

Marco, in my diary I have a picture:

You have the eyes of a child who's a little shy.

I hold it close to my heart and I feel you're here

Between my English and math homework.

Your father and his advice: what a bore!

He took you away with his job.

Surely he never asked your opinion;

He said: "One day you will understand me"

 

Who knows if you'll think about me,

If you'll speak with friends

So you won't suffer over me anymore.

But it's not easy, you know.

At school I can't stand it anymore;

And in the afternoons, without you,

Studying is useless: all my thoughts crowd around you.

 

It's not possible

To separate our lives.

Please, wait for me,

My love, but I can't deceive you!

 

The loneliness between us,

This silence inside me

Is the anxiety of having to live

Life without you.

Please, wait for me because

I cannot live without you.

It's not possible to divide our love.
