La cita
Leonardo Favio
The Date
Come in and sit down
calm down
if you're already here, what more do you care
imagine that I'm not me
that I'm the other man you were expecting to see.
A stranger, who wrote you a verse
and drew the moon for you on a piece of paper
an improvised, mysterious, passionate lover
who gave you a date in this hotel.
Undress and turn off the light for a moment
and make love to me, like you do with those lovers
I swear today is the last time you mock me
that you deceive me.
It was my jealousy that thought of the trap
and it was my hands that wrote the letter
and it's my heart that cries with sorrow inside
but I leave you and I go....
forever, forever, forever.
