Malinconica - Marlene Kuntz

Ti ho vista sai?

Seduta in quel caffè…

Ieri ci passavo innanzi

Perso in fatti miei

E un amico inutile

Mi ha chiamato per un drink:

«beh» gli ho detto «ok»

E lui con fare affabile

Giù con cento «come stai?

Cosa fai e cosa non fai?»

Non sentivo.

Non parlavo

Io guardavo te

E meravigliosamente un istante ha invaso il tempo

E magnificamente quel gesto ha preso il campo

E tu mi hai rapito

E ti ho rivista, sai?

Perché ho visto un altro «me»

Quello che stava seduto lì

Sei anni fa;

E ti sei levata e sei

Scivolata soffice

Sugli oggetti e

Fra la gente inconsapevole

E meravigliosamente un istante ha invaso il tempo

E magnificamente quel gesto ha preso il campo

E tu mi hai rapito

Vellutata nostalgia

Serica malinconia

I saw you you know?

Sitting in that cafe ...

Yesterday I was passing by

Lost in my business

And a useless friend

He called me for a drink:

"Well" I said "ok"

And he with an affable do

Down with a hundred "how are you?

What do you do and what don't you do? "

I didn't feel.

I didn't speak

I was looking at you

And wonderfully an instant invaded time

And beautifully that gesture took the field

And you kidnapped me

And I saw you again, you know?

Because I saw another "me"

The one who was sitting there

Six years ago;

And you got up and you are

Soft glide

On objects and

Among the unaware people

And wonderfully an instant invaded time

And beautifully that gesture took the field

And you kidnapped me

Velvety nostalgia

Silky melancholy
