When the eyes meet…
Look, right now, at this moment
In the harbor of love
Face to face with me
Eye to eye
In the ocean of my eyes
In the angle of the eyes
Looking at the future
In that little boat
In the arms of the waves
In the height of the sail
Looking for happiness
See how it composes
The joyful rhythm of love,
The song of the King of Love,
Oh my dream hero!
Let me declare to you
You are the first accent of my heart
With you I understood
The feeling of being loved
That love exists.
But I never knew
The thousand games of fate.
When I suddenly saw you
When those magical feelings
Wrapped my heart
Like a little bird
I would fly away from there…
I would drown in your gaze,
I would sleep late in the evenings,
I would count stars one by one
In the moonlight in the sky
I would find a double star
I would name us
Look, it would be you
Me next to you.
It would land on my face, hey
A constant pleasant smile
Yeah… It would get stuck
Stamped on a document
Like an official seal.
Now I look at you
In your eyes full of love
We stand face to face
From a memory book
The embroidery of patterns
It is solved like a puzzle
This moment is lived one by one
A life that has not been lived.
