I’m writing this letter at six oh three
You know that the world and the universe work for you
You have to live up to these desires
Often it’s nightmares that become real
But with you, time slows down
Like when you were born and I was inside
I’ve never forgiven myself for all this (No, no)
To tell the truth, I’ve never even asked for forgiveness (No, no)
I want you to always have a father, unlike mine
Stay away from the streets (Uah), not like I did (Uah)
You have to use love because it’s a seed from God (No, no, no, no)
Even if sometimes it turns rotten, other times it’s bad (Uah, uah, uah, uah, uah, uah)
My world changed the first time I saw you
It was the strongest love I’ve ever felt
Your hands, your scent, your eyes, and your smile
Blue like two planets set within your face (Yes)

But I’m here to protect you
Protect you from bullets and lightning (Ah)
And sometimes even from myself
If I can, I just want to protect you
Protect you from problems and wounds (From these wounds)
Everything that’s happened to me won’t change now

You make diamonds fall and reignite the stars
But be careful, there will always be someone ready to extinguish them
Don’t make short-term choices with eternal repercussions
Stay away from trouble, I swear, you’re missing nothing
You know, the police spy on me, one mistake and you go back (Oh no)
In this life, I’ve lost too much and can’t afford more (Oh no)
You’re something worth living for (Pah)
Something worth dying for, something worth killing for (Pah, pah)
I only saw you in photos, later in a meeting between the desks
But inside me grew the hatred of that place and others (Uah, uah)
I think: “What a bitter fate,” as a bitter drink empties
And then when I see you again, I feel the world spinning
I who have touched only dirty purples with these hands
And have seen few right things, too much unsober crap
Whatever you seek, I’ll find the answer
And I hope you’ll take from me, but only my good part

But I’m here to protect you
Protect you from bullets and lightning (No)
And sometimes even from myself
If I can, I just want to protect you
Protect you from problems and wounds (From these wounds)
Everything that’s happened to me won’t change now (No)

It won’t change now
And if I die today, I’ll still beat in your heart
You’ll learn to love, maybe you’ll understand all this
Written in the pain of infinite hours I’ve lost
Even if you don’t see it, I’m trying
I swear, I’m doing my best
