Espérame

Everything's quiet
it's six-thirty
and our flight
leaves at ten.
He's lost in a
light sleep
and in the east
it's starting to dawn.

I get out of bed
he stirs in dreams
he's gonna hear
my heart beat.

I tiptoe
looking for a suitcase
and I start getting
dressed in the living room.

Wait for me
I need you more than air
more than life.

Wait for me
we'll never again
kiss
in secret.

Wait for me
steal a minute from that time
on the clock.

Calm your nerves
don't worry, please.

Control a bit
that storm inside you.

Wait for me
I'm gonna leave everything for you
this morning.

Wait for me
my body is shaking
like a bell.

Wait for me
there's a place
across the sea
for both of us.

To live this adventure
between you and me.

A whole lifetime
to make love.

I have my passport
I won't forget anything
I look slowly around.

I write a message
I leave it on the pillow
just one word
a simple goodbye.

He murmurs something
turns over
as I leave
the room.

And I close the door
down the stairs
and outside
the sun is shining.

Wait for me
I need you more than air
more than life.

Wait for me
we'll never again
kiss
in secret.

Wait for me
steal a minute from that time
on the clock.

Calm your nerves
don't worry me, please.

Control a bit
that storm inside you.

Wait for me
I'm gonna leave everything for you
this morning.

Wait for me
my body is shaking
like a bell.

Wait for me
there's a place
across the sea
for both of us.

To live this adventure
between you and me.
A whole lifetime
to make love.

Wait for me.
