Qui [English translation]

Who will touch your lips

Vibrating with fever

Surprising your body

Will become your master

Making there give birth

A new well-being

Another happiness?

Who will take it over

To make your dreams come true

And without a remorse

With a burst of laughter

Will know to drive you

To destroy me better

In the deepth in your heart?

Who can be this auther one

Who’ll be this intruder

In everything that was ours

When I won’t be any more?

Who will take your weekness

With carresses

And the words of love

Covering with oblivion

Our days of madness?

Who will take your life

At the end of my life?

We have twenty years of difference,

Our love is measureless,

And my heart is in despair

For those years

‘cause when my eyes will be closed

Other eyes will contemplate you

Also I’m fighting with this word

Of my thought

That without your protest

Will refer the gestures

That belong only us

When I kiss you

When I hug you?

Who will take my place

Around my neck?

Who will know your scenes

Of your sudden madness

Or the wrath?

Who will have the chance

To have your presence?

Thinking often about it

I become jealous

Who? nobody can tell it

Who? we don’t know anything about it

And my heart tears when thinking that someone,

Will take you who I love

And with this I love you

I know it already

He will take your lips

He will take your lips

And will bury me

For the second time.
