The solitude

Marco has departed never to come back
and the 7:30 train without his knack
appears to me a metal heart devoid of soul
the cold grey city morning now on takes it's toll
 
At school his desk is empty, Marco's inside of me
how sweet resounds his breath in all the thoughts that gush
huge distances appear to be dividing us
but a heart is beating strong inside of me
 
Who knows if you are thinking me
and with your people if you speak
if you are hiding just like me
from people's eyes like me you sneak
 
if you stay locked inside your room
if you won't even grab one bite
if you squeeze pillows in your gloom
or other suffering it might
the solitude induce
 
Marco I have your photo in my diary
your shyful boyish eyes are fiery
it clasps my heart and I am feeling you are here
doing english and your mathematics homework dear
 
Your father with his commonplace and dull advice
his work took you away and had us pay the price
the sure thing is that your opinion wasn't asked
he said one day you'll understand don't be harassed
 
Who knows if you are thinking me
and with your friends if you let go
to overcome your need for me
that isn't easy I do know
 
I cannot bear the school no more
or afternoons without you here
to study's useless I'm done for
my thoughts to you shall always steer
 
It isn't possible to pull apart
the lives of us the two
I beg you wait for me, my only love
but maybe I'm fooling you
 
The solitude between us two
this silence growing inside me
is the inquietude without you
of what my life may be
 
I beg you wait for me my heart
'cause I can't be away from you
It isn't possible to pull apart
the story of us two
 
(repeat two last verses)
 
The solitude I feel...

I have added some punctuation and changed some minor stanzas around. You might want to check your translation for updates.
