Each sorrow swallows its share of fleeting sadness
Then we warm against us our repetitive joys
Caressing the hair of our ethereal childhood
Telling it that it's still too early to scream

We learned to smile like well-raised men
To divert attention from our soiled sexes
But we forgot to show us how to do
To find love and prove to it that we can please it

But when doubts arrive, when shame recurs
Our repetitive joys know how to reassure us

We put on black, blue, to smear our eyes
To make believe, even if it's false, that today we are better
We drink, we eat among friends to talk about our habits
Those of yesterday, those of tomorrow, to compare our solitudes

We put in our noses what we have left to live
Shouting to all winds how happy we are when we are drunk
Trying to stifle everything that reminds us
That we are already at the golden age of the belated rebel

But when doubts arrive, when shame recurs
Our repetitive joys know how to reassure us

We kiss boys and girls in turn
Because for us all that matters is to see shining eyes
But we secretly dream of meeting our love
The one that will last until the end of the last day

We agree to crawl, the gaze erased
The mouth that wants to vomit our swallowed love
We think of that perfect time when we ruined everything
By letting a misplaced "I love you" escape

But when doubts arrive, when shame recurs
Our repetitive joys know how to reassure us

But when doubts arrive, when shame recurs
Our repetitive joys know how to reassure us
