Tu Sei, Tu Sai

Already at 3 you uncover yourself a bit
you're sleeping attached to me
and you smile but I don't know where you are now
close to you and yet so far
your heart beats but
for whom it beats I don't know anything, who knows, who knows
fantasies that insomnia brings
maybe now someone else is with you
if I could, I would kill all your dreams
slowly, I would like to wake you up
to reassure myself and to talk a bit
but no, maybe I'm afraid
of understanding who you're with

You are, you know, in whose dream you go
you are with me but where is your mind
I follow the rhythm of your breathing
the light movements of your forehead
when you dream, you're not mine

Already at 6 it's dawn now
and your pillow has slipped down
you move your feet looking for mine
and you come back
the one that I could lose one day or another
I must admit, you know,
I never thought about it
convinced that if other stories end
ours won't

You are, you know, in whose dream you go
you are, you know, you're waking up now
I'm surprised by your eyes
almost closed then open, wide open at me
you say smiling: 'I dreamt of you!'

Up to your throat
you pull the sheets
with a kick you push me away
if I touch you, you scream
then you turn and laugh
and in the end, you fall into a yes

You are, you know
surprised together by the morning
you are, you know
you are, you know
you are, you know
and now the dream is already far away
