A Mio Padre

May 6, 1992

Dear, Dad
Useless to argue
We will never agree
What's so strange about that
Thirty years separate us
Or maybe
There's fear in you
Of not finding the strength
To be by my side
If obstacles stop me

Don't worry, listen to me
I'll have problems
I face infamies but
Nothing will scare me
Nothing will corrupt me
Nothing in the world
Will make me forget that
I can win
And I want to make it on my own
And I want to make it on my own

I know well that for you it's difficult
To justify
This urge to fight
Dare the impossible... I know

It may seem unbelievable to you
But the more I think about it, the more I realize that I'm just like you
And you don't know how much I wish
That strength never leaves you
To have you here
And never give up
Never

Goodbye Dad
See you soon
