Breath of Life
Life… you that control people’s lives,
That take from people happiness, hopes and dreams…
The life of my dreams…
You can not take.
You gave me my life.
I loved you during all my childhood,
And until today, I continue being your friend
And still loving you.
But why Life?
If I grew up loving you,
And being your friend for all these years.
Why did you change my life?
In this life that now I live,
I can only live in dreams what I had in the past,
I can only live in dreams…
What you will give me for my future.
From this happiness that only in dreams I have,
You Life, who control people’s lives,
Who takes from people happiness, hopes and dreams,
The life of my dreams you can not take.
But… you Life, that have the power of life,
That have in your hands our lives.
I bag, I implore you…
To return to me the life that I used to live.
At home. London, March 1990
