What you ask me I'm unable to do
This way you gonna lose me and I gonna lose you
Like a boat, that goes adrift
Like leaves of a tree, that fade in the autumn
 
What you're unable to do I'm not gonna ask you to
What you don't want to do, I'm not gonna insist on
Tell always the truth, no matter how hard it may be
Donate blood and give me your phone number
 
Everyday I come to the very same place
Sometimes it turns out to be very far in the city, almost impossible to find it
But when its neon signs are pretty attractive
Any night is like a night of full moon
 
In the taxi that brought me to here
A Bob Marley's song on the radio was telling I was right
The radio also spoke the last sport news, the right time
News of crime and some on religion
To tell you the truth, "nothing"
is a word that still doesn't have a translation
 
Whenever the power goes off in the city
Whenever we are in need of something
The invisible comes out right before my eyes
It's like diving into the darkness of a pool
 
The fire fills the darkness with so much light
But not for so long
In no time, the fire eats away everything
And each thing in the world will become light one day
But whenever the power goes off in the city
The invisible comes out right before our eyes
 
Last night, I met a girl
It was late in the night, it was almost dawning
It was the margin of a cliff
It was just my body falling
 
Last night, the night was cold
Everything was burning, there was no warming
She showed up, seemed to be so lonely
It was like if her loneliness were my own
 
I met a girl who I'd met already
In other carnivals, dressed on other disguises
She showed up, seemed to be so lonely
It was like if her loneliness were my own
