È Colpa Del RespiroIt’s my breath’s fault,
Fragileso fragile,

Se Soffro Tanto Ma Son Vivothat I suffer so much yet I’m still alive.
È Colpa Della BoccaIt’s my mouth’s fault,
Stupidaso stupid,
Come Mejust like me,
E Del Tuo Corpo Che La Toccaand your body’s fault for touching it.
È Colpa Dell’istintoIt’s my instinct’s fault,
