Breath of Life
Happiness... where are you that I can't find you?
I've been fighting,
All my life to find you
But I don't know where you are.
Happiness... I need to find you.
I know that you are present in the great emotions,
I know that you are also present in the little ones,
In the simple things in life.
But why happiness?
If I know where you are
And as much as I want you and look for you,
I can't find you?
Happiness... I often feel that you are very close to me.
But suddenly Happiness,
Like a broken crystal,
I see you disappearing in particles of infinite pain.
In front of you gigantic intruders
Don't let me reach you...
Disappointment, anguish and the pain of longing,
That always takes you far, far away from me.
But, Happiness, I know that one day
I won't need to look for you anymore.
I know that one day, Happiness...
You are the one who will find me.
At home. London, January 1990

WITHOUT YOU IN THE PARK
Breath of Life Without you in the park,I look at the sun hiding behind gray clouds,Birds fly a lost flight, without sunlightTo guide their paths and dives in calm waters. Without you in the park,I also feel no joy like birds.The grass is cold without your body...
I WISH I COULD LIVE INTENSELY
Breath of Life I wish I could live intensely, The time lost in the past, The lifeless past time, The time lost in life. I wish I could live intensely, Because time has not given me its time, Because I didn't feel the time in time, Simply... because I didn't have time....
