For an Embrace
Looking for a tree of immortal customs.
In the good sense of being better each time.
The light goes toward the true temple
Breaking steps toward the future.
In memory remain things to achieve.
It is necessary that we nourish the soul.
We have plenty of time, we only lack calm.
To invest against anxiety in difficult times.
You will be... history from yesterday.
You will return… from the dust that went away.
You will be... history from yesterday.
You will return… from the dust that went away.
I will try to embrace you,/ I will return to kiss you,/ we will walk through the world as before/ and the value of the hours will be like the leaves/ of an old book that teaches you and is valued.

IT REPEATS FROM... You will be... UNTIL... an old book that teaches you and is valued.

I will discover in your face/ all the distant warmth/ and an old man walking with his cane gives you his hand.
I will try to embrace you,/ I will return to kiss you,/ we will walk through the world as before.
