– OFF – Estratto #01 / Excerpt #01 – [It/En] – A19 – Anna "Annina" Lorenzi

[IT] – oɹǝɯnu 5 – :

– Danza, demone,
Davanti allo specchio

Sono io o sei tu
In quel distorto riflesso?

Danza, demone,
Al traballar della fiamma

È tuo questo canto
O è la mente che inganna?

Danza ancora
Prima che sparisca il fuoco,

Prima che il cuor si convinca
Che, in fondo, per te

Non era altro che
Un gioco. –

Da “- OFF – (Danzando ai Margini del Lato Oscuro)”
– Qualcuno Le Chiama Poesie – di Anna “Annina” Lorenzi – #DiGetto – #OFF

[EN] – ɹǝqɯnu 5 – :

– Dance, demon,
In front of the mirror

Is it me or you
In that distorted reflection?

Dance, demon,
At the flickering of the flame

Is this your song
Or is it the mind that deceives?

Dance again
Before the fire disappears,

Before the heart convinces itself
That, after all, for you

It was nothing but
A game. –
