Life on the Island

I can't see you on the other side

of my silence.

I can't see you where the light

of bitter love lives.

I look at myself in the mirror

of my illusions, I touch your stars

tenderly, I nurture the flower

of nobody's loneliness.

Wake me up, lift me from this dust,

give me back my freedom,

let me regain my lost passion.

My most beautiful dream

has inhabited your shadow,

my immortality has been found

in your dreams.

All that my world lacks today

is in your aquamarine mirage,

it wanders among golden constellations.

One more night wakes up inside me,

one more dawn soothes my tears.

The life I have inherited from you

will pass with the brush of my lips

that will seal the wound

of my heart.

Do not be afraid of the stars,

my hand has tamed them.

I have lived again on an Island

where there is no lonely sky,

where I can listen to your ballad

without regret.
