It's not the matter of death, it's the matter of life!
Dear moon you cannot catch me, so I pass this long way each time to get to you.
I never forget to bring the camera.
You’re so bright that there’s no need for flash.
I take your photo and return.
I provide the chance for the earth’s inhabitants to visit you quite close.
But, you know what?
It may not continue anymore.
They are going to destroy the old houses.
They will build skyscrapers instead.
There’s no more belief in traditional cobbled pools.

There are sometimes in my life,
when I move out of line
Sometimes it is so hard
not to let love go on
When I see your shadow there,
I’m sure I’ll find you then
Hasty time runs forward
My heart beats, my heart pounds
And now it’s over
You and I together
We’ve nothing more than love
It’s so much that we share
***
I dream you every night
You bring me right to light
I owe you my mornings,
but I prefer nights for the dreams!
Deep in my heart I feel you
That’s why always I love you
I’m not waiting for some chance,
since I get to you at last
And now it’s over
You and I together
We’ve nothing more than love
It’s so much that we share

*I know that I can make my fate,
however sad it was before now.
I'm alive so I have the chance.
I can always fall in love.
And it's me who finds the way;
the hopeful man I'd ever been.
***
To live means to love.
I make my life by my heart.
It is always up to me
to choose to live or not.
And it's me who finds the way;
the man in love I'd ever been.
***
I hug the pain of hardship,
to get to calm beyond it.
I trust in love and go on.
It shows me the right way.
And it's me who finds the way;
the faithful man I'd ever been.
