Riendo

Laughing I go through life,
laughing, always laughing...
With this feigned laughter
that is nothing more
but a false joy.
That's why my mouth laughs
to hide my pain.

I longed for
the holy and good tenderness
and the sweet and serene peace
of the warmth of a little house.
But happiness
was unjustly far away
and in my soul there remained
but infinite sorrows.

My life weeping
with tears of a thousand wounds!

That's why, always,
when I corner myself alone
I feel a cold of abandonment
that squeezes my heart.

I am the lost complaint
of a soul that wanders aimlessly.
It is my destiny to roll, and nothing else,
on the roads of the world.
That is why I laugh and laugh.
They will never see me cry!
