Volutas de Humo
Kevin Johansen
Smoke Rings
Smoke rings floating
Around my body
How easily they disintegrate
As soon as the wind touches them
I want to talk, talk to you
Tell you, tell you what I feel...
Why do I always need you
The more alone I find myself?
This, this fatal charm of yours
Is the only thing I don't understand
Knowing that, little by little
You're consuming my life...
Cigarette wrapped in white
The color of purity and,
What do you carry in your soul? The darkness...
How many of us cling
To your deep puffs and exhale at once!
(While we swallow your poison...)
I wish I could get away from you
But I know I can't
Because in every twist of this life we suffer
In my own cowardice, I cling more
To your damn poison...
I took you as a toy when I was young
And now, that you're part of me
You don't know how much I regret it
Without you, without you I don't know how to live
Because you're my companion
That friend I sought in the lonely night
While I gazed at the skies
And talked about my dreams, my sorrows, and joys
While you, little by little
Were consuming yourself in my fingers
And so, so you took my breath away
You don't let me breathe
You stained all my fingers
And inside you devoured a big part of my body...
But what can I blame you for?
If you were my companion...
And once again, once again I light you up
And while I watch your smoke rings
That wrap around my body
I have to tell you, to my regret
That you still are my best companion...
