The Crab's Lair

There is a song in the crab's lair,
I've laid my clothes under the sun.
I've seen you cry behind my words,
but I didn't know what else to say about you.
 
Now that we're alone, you can talk to me.
Look around you, there is no one here.
Don't be like that, don't judge me,
I have a word wrong for every sentence.
 
I am only a man and I don't know how to be one,
and even if you don't want to know,
do know, however, that in the end, I love you.
 
I'm a mother who shouts her head off,
a head that is still spinning around,
a guitar that doesn't sound,
a bag full of holes.
If you understand that I don't love you,
you're a mermaid that doesn't swim.
 
What can I say?
Just let me know when you want to heal.
By your expression, you have something to tell me,
but I sense it, you don't even give me two liras.
 
There's a plastic bag with our two soaked costumes in it,
we forgot them
in the car that stayed under the sun all summer long,
I found them in October.
 
Now that it is no longer a 'yes', I leave you the road.
My bedroom is not a city.
What a nightmare to keep on waiting in the studio,
outside you're at the carnival.
 
I'm a mother who shouts her head off,
a head that is still spinning around,
a guitar that doesn't sound,
a bag full of holes.
If you understand that I don't love you,
you're a mermaid that doesn't swim.
 
What can I say?
Just let me know when you want to heal.
By your expression, you have something to tell me,
but I sense it, you don't even give me two liras.
 
If the sea has become salty,
it's because a sailor cried in it.
If the calendar was made,
it's because I'd like to turn you into a saint now.
Feel how strong the wind is,
the wind that doesn't rest.
 
What can I say?
Just let me know when you want to heal.
By your expression, you have something to tell me,
but I sense it, you don't even give me two liras.
 
I only need to get to convince you,
not just you.
I only need to get to convince you,
but I sense it, you don't even give me two liras.
