Neighbors
The ones upstairs are throwing a party,
The ones next door have been strangely quiet.
Shots and blasts echo just two streets away,
I didn’t hear a thing, yet everyone talks about it.
They say two neighbors are fighting over a piece of terrace.
It’s absurd, isn’t it? They didn’…

The people upstairs are preparing a party,
The ones next door are strangely silent.
Gunshots echo two streets away,
I didn’t hear anything, yet everyone talks about it.

It’s absurd, isn’t it? They didn’t…
In the gentle song of the wind, an ethereal promise,
My unguarded heart let itself be enchanted.
Conditioned to love you, such is my destiny,
An invisible thread binds me to your past.
Like dawn embracing the starry night,
Your eyes, like a lighthouse, guide m…

In the calming whisper of the wind, a fading promise,
My unguarded heart let itself be enchanted.
Bound to love you, this is my destiny,

What can I say to the one who has already heard everything?
I could tell her about her radiant beauty,
But the sun has already beaten me to it.
I could speak of her breathtaking smile,
But her “fotographers” have surely told her already.
I could perhaps describe the features of her face, marked by
The hardships she has endured,
The bursts of lau…

What can I say to the one who has listened so much?
I could speak of her radiant beauty,
But the sun has already sung of it.
I could evoke her charming smile,
Her “fotographers” have surely admired it.
I could describe the features of her face,
Marked by pain, by shared laughte…
The Hospital Room
Stretched out there, on the bare floor.
An anxious gaze… lost, as if without a compass.
A hand, gripping her father’s,
Like her shelter on this earth,
It seemed she kept r…

The Hospital Room
Lying there, on the floor, she rests.
Her eyes filled with worry… lost, adrift.
Her hand, gripping her father’s,
Like a refuge on this earth, she seemed to whisper:

Tonight, we went out,
Not with friends,
Not to celebrate a birthday.
“Tonight, my love, we’re going out,”
she said to me.
Those words slipped from her lips,
honeyed, tinted red.
In her black evening dress,
shimmering like stars in a night sky.

It is not enough to say I love you
Your words that ring so true,
Your scent that takes me far away,
The shape of your jaw,
The elegance you carry.
It is not enough to tell you I love you.

It is not enough to reveal I love you
Your words that resonate with such truth,
Your scent that carries me toward distant horizons,
The delicate shape of your jaw,
The elegance that adorns you so perfectly.
It is not enough to…
At best, your presence soothes me,
At worst, it reminds me of everything I will never have.
Like a star in the universe,
I orbit around you.

Lyrai refinement
Sometimes your presence calms me deeply.
Other times, it reminds me of everything that slips away from me.
Like a shimmering star in the vast sky,
