Breath of Life 

Life goes, comes... goes...
         Minutes pass, hours pass, days pass.
          So time goes... comes...
           Life goes on.
 
 I see life passing by,
           I feel the longing squeezing,
           I feel like I want
      I want a lot to whom I leave
 
  With time it goes
             Go my life
              With time I give myself
            Whom I love so much in life.
 
    Life that is not mine,
              Life that is hers.
             My life...
            Life I gave her.

Breath of Life I want your gigantic hands over my eyes, I want the sleep of peace, I want my rest... Makes me sleep. Don't let me sleep I feel uneasy, be carried away by thoughts Let me get away from you. I want to feel a deep sleep, Who will take me with winged wings...
