La solitudine [English translation]

Marco has gone away, he will never return again

The 7:30 train without him

is a soulless metal heart

in the cold, grey morning of the city.

At school the desk is empty, Marco is within me

His sweet breath amongst my thoughts

Huge distances seem to divide us

But my heart is beating strongly within me

Who knows if you will think of me,

If you never speak to your parents/family,

If you hide like me,

(If) you stay out of sight, and remain there.

(If you've) retreated to your room and you don't want to eat

(If) you squeeze your pillow tightly and cry

You don't know how much more this loneliness will hurt you

I have a photo of Marco in my diary

You have the eyes of a shy little boy

(This photo) hurts my heart and I feel your presence

even whilst doing maths & English homework

Your father and his monotonous advice

Thanks to his work, he took you away

He certainly never asked your opinion

He said one day you'll understand me

Who knows if you think of me

If you talk with your friends

In order to stop suffering because of me

But it's not easy, you know

I can not go to school anymore

and my afternoons without you

Studying is useless

All my thoughts go straight to you

It's not possible to separate

the lives of you and me

I beg you to wait for me, my love

The loneliness between us

This silence within me

It's the restlessness of living

My life without you

I'm begging you to wait for me because

I can't live without you

It's not possible to divide
