Me
I’m just a heart broken woman
Who wants to know why you had left her
And forgot your shadow on her hands
Printing its pale color
On the palms of all those who shake her hands
I am just a woman
Who tries with poetry
To iron the wrinkles of her salty soul
Before returning it back to heaven

Io
Sono solo una donna spezzata
Chi vuole sapere perché l’hai lasciata
E hai dimenticato la tua ombra sulle sue mani
Che imprimono il colore pallido
Sulle palme di tutti quelli che stringono le sue mani
Sono solo una donna
Che prova con la poesia
Ad attenuare le rughe della sua anima ferita
Prima di restituirla al paradiso
