What I dont't have

Enzo Martino

Traduzione, Chiara Daina 11-11-2005
 

What I don’t have
Is the possibility to tell you
The years I’ve spent without you 

What I don’t have is the certainty of a future
What I didn’t have
Is a fair education to share with you 

What I don’t have is the time-machinery
To go back and to begin everything again 

What I don’t have is the possibility
To take our children to school
To listen to their voice, their cryings,
caprices, smiles, doubts. 

What I don’t have are their daily questions
And the answers I can’t give them. 

What I don’t have are those emotions, that here,
owing to the time, have turned into anguisce. 

What I don’t have any more are
The reveries of power which have led me to prison. 

What I don’t have now is the will to live
To listen and to begin again through the instruments
I’ve been learning here up to now.
