Le Lettere D'Amore (Chevalier De Pas) - Roberto Vecchioni

Fernando Pessoa chiese gli occhiali

e si addorment?

e quelli che scrivevano per lui

lo lasciarono solo

finalmente solo…

cos?

la pioggia obliqua di Lisbona

lo abbandon?

e finalmente la fin?

di fingere fogli

di fare male ai fogli…

e la fin?

di mascherarsi

dietro tanti nomi,

dimenticando Ophelia

per cercare un senso che non c'?

e alla fine chiederle «scusa

se ho lasciato le tue mani,

ma io dovevo solo scrivere, scrivere

e scrivere di me…»

e le lettere d’amore,

le lettere d’amore

fanno solo ridere:

le lettere d’amore

non sarebbero d’amore

se non facessero ridere

Fernando Pessoa asked for the glasses

and fell asleep?

and those who wrote for him

they left him alone

finally alone ...

cos?

the oblique rain of Lisbon

abandoned him?

and finally the end?

to pretend sheets

to hurt the sheets ...

and the fin?

to disguise themselves

behind so many names,

forgetting Ophelia

to look for a meaning that is not there?

and finally ask her "sorry

if I let go of your hands,

but I just had to write, write

and write about me ... "

and love letters,

love letters

they just make you laugh:

love letters

they would not be of love

if they weren't funny
