An Impossible Love
I love you very much
and I know that the road to the impossible is
long
I know you are the princess of women
and I have no alternative
I
know that nostalgia time has ended
and sweet talk has died
To the princess of women, what do we say
I love you very much
and
I know that I live in exile
and you are in exile
and between
us
wind
clouds
lightning
thunder
snow and fire
I know that reaching your eyes is an illusion
I know that reaching
you is a suicide
but I am pleased
to tear myself to pieces for
you, O dear
and If I had to choose
I would have repeated your
love for the second time
O you who spin your shirt from leaves of trees
O you whom I protected from the drops of rain
I love you very much
I know that I travel in the sea of your eyes
with no certainty
I leave my mind behind me and run
I run
following my madness
O woman, who holds my heart in her hands
for the sake of God, I ask
you don’t leave
don’t leave me
What would I be if you didn’t
exist
I love you very much
and very much indeed
and I
refuse, because of the fire of your love, to resign
Is it possible
for a mad lover to resign….
I don’t care
if I came out of love alive
and I don’t care
if I came out of it dead
