Assenza Ausencia
Patrizia Laquidara
Absence Absence
If I had wings
To fly out of this room
And if I were a gazelle
To escape lightly
The autumn so long
Would become short
And therefore every absence
Certainly light
Only my thoughts
Know how to travel better
The freedom of the past
Is just a big dream
But if you dream strongly
Do you know what time does?
Time smiles
(If it smiles)
I am lonely, yes
But I know if the sun is there
If it knows how to shine
It rises every day from the east
If it goes to bed
Behind rocks and waves
With extraordinary essence
I am lonely, yes
But I know if the sun is there
If it knows how to shine
It rises every day from the east
If it goes to bed
Behind hills and woods
With lonely essence
Only my thoughts
Will know how to travel better
The freedom from time
Is perhaps another dream
But if you dream strongly
Time is amazed
It softens a bit
And smiles
I am lonely, yes
But I know the sun is there
So bright
It will rise every day from the east
It will go to sleep
When it can't take it anymore
I am lonely, yes, but
I am lonely, yes
But I know the sun is there
So bright
It will rise every day from the east
It will go to sleep
Among processions of clouds
I am lonely, yes, but
