Now the night is falling
down from the heavens
while the earth 
is covered by darknesses 
now soothing
and wrapping up each creature 
in a veil
The stars are shining 
in internal firmament 
the lights are quiet 
and look tiny
You that take the others 
over to the moon 
tell me if you 
now love my heart
more than life
tell me if you do?
You that in the sky 
makes beautiful 
splendour 
You lady 
you seem to be elected
tell me if you know
can I hope? 
that in the future 
in time
I will feel love 
and that she will react
to my existence? 
Maybe she’s deluded 
my friendly 
dream 
that the love of 
the heart is light.
the love that arrives
to the heart 
is the love of her why I’m alive?
