Dietro Front (original)Dietro Front (translation)
Io che ti ho cercata un po' per giocoI, who sought you half in sport, a masked intrigue,
E poi ti ho trovata un giorno giù da meAnd found you, one dusk, descending to my shadows’ floor,
Non mi hai chiesto mai neanche una fotoYou never asked, not once, for a keepsake, not a single image,
Ma te ne ho rubate un paio e non lo saiYet I filched a pair—your gaze unknowing—tucked them in my secret drawer.
E ti ho detto tutto di meAnd I unfolded all my pages to your eyes,
E giuro che non è da meSwear it—such confession is not my native air.
Tu hai detto: «Che problema c'è?»You replied: “What’s amiss, what trouble lies?”
E siamo rimasti cosiAnd so we lingered, time suspended in the glare.
Insieme per tutto il weekendTogether, a bright constellation through the weekend’s span,
In macchina fino alle treIn the car, adrift on rivers of night, till three bells call,
Senza problemiNo storms, no obstacles—
Problemi, problemi, problemiObstacles, obstacles, obstacles—
Ma lo sapevi, sapevi cheBut you had guessed, hadn’t you, what fate began?
Poi ad un tratto mi hai detto: «Non so»Then suddenly, your voice—uncertain, autumnal: “I don’t know at all.”
Troppe cose di te che non hoToo many fragments of your story I could never claim—
Retromarcia, hai fatto «skrrt», dietro frontYou reversed, tires sighing skrrt, turned your heart about-face,
Forse è meglio non vedersi piùPerhaps it is wiser: let our gazes never cross again.
E mi hai detto: «Lo sapevi», ma noAnd you whispered, “You knew”—but no, I did not trace
Da come scrivevi non era un «no»In your words a final ‘no’—not in the way they came,
Che non stavi cosi bene da un po'You had not glimmered so bright for years, you said—
E non so se eri sincera ma soAnd I cannot swear you spoke true, but I know
Quando mi vediWhenever you see me—
Mi vedi, mi vedi, mi vediYou see me, see me, see me—
Non vai più viaYou cannot depart, you cannot go.
Ora che in giro parlano di meNow that rumors of me are circling, bright and thin,
Chissà se tu parli ancora di noiI wonder—do your lips still conjure us with friends?
Tu tra la folla ed io in questo privéYou adrift in the crowd, I in this clandestine den,
Trovo una scusa per uscire fuoriI invent a pretext, slip out into the city’s skin,
E parlo, bevo, fumo, ohI talk, I drink, I smoke—
Ballo dietro la consoleI dance behind the pulpit of the console’s glow,
Guardo se ti vedo, noI search—do I glimpse you? No—
Passi e faccio dietro frontYou pass, and I whirl, a soldier at command—about-face.

Io che ti parlo, tu che mi sorridiI speak to you, and you answer with a smile’s pale fire,
Lasciamo un altro discorso a metàWe abandon, yet again, a conversation half-spun,
Su e giù nel traffico, giri infinitiUp and down the labyrinthine rush—traffic’s endless gyre,
Senza sapere mai dove si vaNever guessing where this road will run.
Ti dissi: «Parli troppo di noi, vivi»I said: “You speak of us too much—breathe, be alive,”
Ma hai preferito scappare viaBut you chose flight, vanished on a silent tide.
Dicevi sempre: «Di me non ti fidi»You always claimed, “You do not trust me,”
Ma esisti solo tu ora in questo clubAnd yet, in this club’s dim thrum, you alone exist for me.
Se passi giro la testaShould you pass, I turn my head away,
Fingo che non mi interessaFeigning that your presence leaves me unmoved—
Baby, sei così perfettaBeloved, you are so flawless in your sway,
Ma non poi così diversa, ohBut not so different, in truth, from all I’ve known,
Adesso che non parliamo da un po'Now that silence has stretched between us, long and slow,
Ti penso e mi fermoI think of you, and halt mid-stride,
Ti seguo e ti perdoI follow you, and you dissolve in the flow,
Ti scrivo e cancelloI write—then erase the words I cannot confide.
Faccio dietro frontI turn about-face.
Ora che in giro parlano di meNow that rumors of me are circling, bright and thin,
Chissà se tu parli ancora di noiI wonder—do your lips still conjure us with friends?
Tu tra la folla ed io in questo privéYou adrift in the crowd, I in this clandestine den,
Trovo una scusa per uscire fuoriI invent a pretext, slip out into the city’s skin,
E parlo, bevo, fumo, ohI talk, I drink, I smoke—
Ballo dietro la consoleI dance behind the pulpit of the console’s glow,
Guardo se ti vedo, noI search—do I glimpse you? No—
Passi e faccio dietro frontYou pass, and I whirl, a soldier at command—about-face.
