El Amor

Love is a ray of indirect light
A drop of peace, a faith that awakens
A buzz in the air, a point in the mist
A profile, a shadow, a pause, a wait

Love is a soft rumor approaching
A bell in the distance, a gentle breeze
A voice in the calm, a scent of mint
Once, maybe, a possession, a goal

Love sprouts between the air and the ground
It's felt and sensed, some can see it
It makes you wake up and think of it
It calls you slowly, touching your skin

Love hypnotizes you, makes you dream
You dream, you yield, you let yourself go
It moves you inside, makes you more
It pushes you, moves you, takes you behind

And suddenly it lifts you, raises you, burns you
It lights up your soul, ignites your veins
It makes you scream, to feel the burn
It dissolves you, evaporates you, destroys you, creates you

And it makes you travel, on the edge of time
Climbing the rivers of a thousand universes
It takes you to glory, delivers you to the earth
It looks at you, sees you, thinks and thinks

And suddenly love is the light of a flame
That starts to fade, goes away, extinguishes
It's a small island lost in the mist
A drop, an I don't know, a stain, a wait

Love is the drop fallen on the earth
A point in the sea, a thickening mist
A veil in the soul, a visible Sun
A why, an according to, a no longer, a complaint

Love descends, step by step
With closed hands and tired steps
It asks you who you are, to let you know
That it barely knows you, what do you want from it

Love mocks you, laughs at you
While you remain blind, not knowing what to say
And you want to follow it and tell it no
To stay, to return, to admit a mistake

And love shatters your grand ideas
It destroys you, breaks you, splits you, shatters you
And makes you be that which you wouldn't want
It pushes you to be bad, leaves you a mess

And it throws you headfirst into the ultimate hell
Tearing your soul, trampling your body
You suffocate with the desire to return to nothing
And suddenly it stops, sees you, pities you

Love, love, love... Love
