Alone
“Let everything be as it is”
…and the wind was flying on your foulard.
You had already taken with you
your hands, your nights, your cheerfulness.
“Never cut your hair,
eat a little more, that you’re too skinny”
…and on the table, between a tea and the bill
I also swallowed this farewell…
“Let everything be as it is”
…and the sky was fading behind the cranes.
“No, never change and take care of yourself,
of your life, of the world you’ll find”
“Try to stay out of trouble,
button your coat well”
…and between the car horns and the bells
I was repeating “I’m not bitter at you”
“And don’t worry for me, please”
…while my breathe was turning into smoke
I felt I was fainting little by little,
and little by little you was leaving…
I wonder if sooner or later…
if you’ll have ever understood…
if you have looked back…
I wonder if sooner or later…
if you’ll ever think, sometimes,
that I’m alone…
And if now I play my songs,
the same ones you loved so much,
if she sits next to me smiling and thinking
that I’ve dedicated them to her…
...she doesn’t know about when I told you:
“Eat a little more, that you’re too skinny”,
she doesn’t know about our first day’s fantasies
and about the way you went away…
I wonder if sooner or later…
if you’ll have ever understood…
if you have looked back…
I wonder if sooner or later…
if you’ll ever think, sometimes,
that I’ll stay alone, here,
and I’ll sing alone,
I’ll walk alone,
alone, I’ll carry on…
