These are the first stanzas of ‘My friend’
My friend, I know, you just live for him, who knows it too
But he doesn’t see you like me, beg to my mouth
To say that he has confessed to me between glasses
What is it with your skin who dreams at night
And that crazy with each button
That unbuttoned thinking about his hands
He hasn’t seen you tremble, waiting
A word, some gesture, a hug
He doesn’t see you like me, sighing
With open eyes, torque
Listen to me to name him
Oh, my friend, I know and he too
My friend
I don’t know what to say or what to do to see you happy
I hope I could send in the soul
Or in freedom, which is what he needs
