Parti (You leave)

It is a poem about an hypothetical woman who left her beloved, who still wants to reach her.

Parti e mi lasci solo.
Parti, ma dammi 
un motivo 
per restare vivo.
Parti e ti cerco lassù,
ma qualcosa 
mi àncora quaggiù.
Parti, ma in realtà 
tu già partisti.
E allora, allora 
ti aspetter™,
ma, forse, sei tu che 
aspetterai me. 
Sì, tu mi aspetterai.
E un giorno, 
io arriver™.
Arriver™ anch’io.
Questo, 
proprio questo 
è il mio
sol desío.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

[You leave, leaving me alone.

You leave, but give me 

a reason to keep me alive.

You leave, and I seek you up above,

but something anchors me down here.

You leave, but actually

you already did leave.

And therefore I will

wait for you,

but, perhaps, you are the one

who will wait for me.

Yes, you will wait for me.

And one day

I will come.

I will come too.

This is

my sole

desire.]
