Only Once
There was the moon, there were stars
there was a new emotion on the skin
there was the night , there were flowers
even in the dark you could see the colors
there was the desire to be together again
maybe for fun anyway we come
walking around hand in hand
and tell us that the world is strange for us
Once upon a time or maybe there were two
there was a cow, a donkey and an ox
there was a night with only one star
but it was big, bright and beautiful
and if we like, maybe we'll go to the sea
so we can splash around in the water
and then swim, play dead afloat
we will check if the moon is still yellow
and while the others are still sleeping
maybe they dream of us
and while the sky clears
we will watch tonight end
time passes, hours pass
and finally we will make love
just once or all our lives
let's hope before the summer is over
time it goes, the hours pass
I wish I could not wash away the smell
of this night still to be understood
but too bad it will have to end
If everything passes everything is already over
it's a shame that I haven't understood it yet
even if you are no longer between my fingers
I will remember tonight for the rest of my life
and if tomorrow I miss you
it will be because I no longer have sky in the room
I will have a photo to remember
what I could tell you that night
time goes on................ ............
If I have no more words in my drawer
a poem that I have never said
an adventure to remember
when I don't have 'nothing left to say
when I go walking down the street
be that as it may, whatever happens
every time I return to the seaside
I will have something to remember
the time goes................................
