La Più Bella

On your tired face
I still see the innocence
That wrinkle tells me
Time won’t stop here
Silver and gold hair
That the sea has never touched
So much life passing
In those eyes of yours
I’m like a kite
Carried away by a cold wind
Into clouds of songs
That changed my life
You live in that heartbeat
That won’t let you
Sleep anymore
Four drops for company
To wash down
Mom, you’re the most beautiful to me
You’re more beautiful than a star
It’s only you who brings warmth
And so much love
Gifting me your sunshine
To light up my heart
Because it’s you who makes my life more beautiful
Half still unknown
How I wish more and more
To have you here close to me, just for me
I wake up in the morning
For breakfast, I take you
Even when I’m far away
Your hand
Caresses me
Your strength gives me certainty
In every moment, more and more
Even when among my people
You’re not there
Mom, you’re the most beautiful to me
You’re more beautiful than a star
It’s only you who brings warmth
And so much love
Gifting me your sunshine to light up my heart
Because it’s you who makes my life more beautiful
Half still unknown
How I wish more and more
To have you here close to me
Because it’s you, only you
Always you
Who in fever and pain
Gives me only love
Who could love me more than you
How I wish God would give you so much life
Because you’ve done no wrong, you’re infinite to me, and when
I say mom, my lips kiss
For you.
