I Believe
With a teenage melody
I go out and give you my goodbye forever
the farewell that was our friend
more fundamental.
I don't see the wait, I don't see that time
to be bound by an oath
that if fulfilled is by force of man
and deadly lie.
I'm optimistic,
I believe in the hours
that made us jump without delay,
I believe in the kiss of nocturnal rain
that saw us born...
I believe in the words we said
to the secret language we made,
I believe in the star in a hurry
that loving each other we saw fall.
I don't exclude things for beginners,
because in dreams people are giants,
but the moment to act in time
gives you your place.
I will keep in mind, in peace and in war,
your line that turns around the earth...
strange ring,
that I follow for years
will make me remember...
I believe in that time
and in its way of making itself sought.
