Peperone

Since you started
You started soaking up the sun
You're sunburned red
You're like a bell pepper
Soaked in water
In salty water,
Kissed by the wind
That comes from the sea,
Next to the shore
You slowly let yourself
Burn in the sun
With all the lotions
You massage your skin
But day by day
You fill up with blisters
Your legs, your arms,
Your nose and shoulders
You let yourself burn.
Since you started
You started soaking up the sun
You're sunburned red
You're like a bell pepper.
Since you started
You started soaking up the sun
You're sunburned red
You're like a bell pepper.
Now even in the shade
You keep getting burned,
Not even the moon
Can calm you down,
As soon as I hold you
You scream, you cry
My pale love.
You used to have lips
So soft and smooth
And now they're red
So cracked and dry
It feels like I'm kissing
The nettle of a field
Yellowed by the sun.
Since you started
You started soaking up the sun
You're sunburned red
You're like a bell pepper.
Since you started
You started soaking up the sun
You're sunburned red
You're like a bell pepper.
