Caffè nero bollente
Fiorella Mannoia
Hot Black Coffee
I kill time by drinking
hot black coffee
in this warmed nest
already by the patient sun
but you who stop at three
then come back home to me
to you who no longer feel anything
poison my mind
A blue thread of light
escapes from the shutters
and I search in vain for something
to invent in my underwear
a car passes by
and a fly flies low
it buzzes around
but I miss the target
I would like to find something
to do outside
and walk without pride
give myself to a heartbreaker
But like Judas
I know how to sell myself naked
I know the road
to lure you into the woods
to lure you into the woods to lure you
Street voices in my ear
everything is a little exciting
in this winter color
hot black coffee
I kill time like this
but I will escape from here
from this house-prison
that makes me a prisoner
With closed eyes
a thousand miles away on my own
I hate the alarm that wakes me up
oh my God
But like Judas
I know how to sell myself naked
alone on the bed
I hug myself I cuddle
melancholic fasting
without anyone
I don't need you
because I don't need you
I don't need you
because I don't need
your hands I am enough on my own
And I kill time by drinking
hot black coffee
in this warmed nest
now by a patient sun
that burns inside me
that is strong like coffee
an afternoon like this
oh no I don't want to stay here
And then I stop
to look at myself for a moment
the stretch marks of life
are many
A dance in the kitchen
and I am still a child
a wedding lunch
and I'll throw something down
and this desire that doesn't go away
while it knocks inside
I don't need you
because I don't need you
I don't need you
because I don't need you
because I don't need you
because I don't need you
because I don't need you
I don't need you
