El amor valiente

Before I continue, I must tell you something
Something that cries at every step
From every small step
Of this life of high steps

It was that, the longest night
I saw you at the end of the street
I wanted to run away
But love wasn't so cowardly

What is happening?
What is happening?
It's happening once again

You were there, up high
At the end of a huge slope
With your hand outstretched
And a white handkerchief hanging

I was climbing, slowly
As in the worst of my dreams
I felt lead in my shoes
And cement in my tired feet

What is happening?
What is happening?
It's happening once again

Like in quicksand
I kept moving forward
I kept moving forward
Without seeing that someone was aiming at me from the window

Once again I believed
Even if it was for a day
When that angel... healed all my wounds
And covered me with its wings
Until the noise of the bullets ceased

What is happening?
What is happening?
It's happening once again

But it was the last part
The hardest part
This time it was my own fear
It was my own fear that almost blinded me

Now I understand the meaning of things
The balance of the scale
The dust of the stars
The rocks that are now sand

Now I understand that every thorn
Every little scratch
Every knife in the back
Was just a small procedure
Just a stupid excuse
I haven't smiled so much in a long time
