I’ll mourn forever -do you hear me?- for you, alone, in Paradise

IV

It’s still early in this world, do you hear me
The monsters have not been tamed, do you hear me

My lost blood and the sharp, do you hear me

Knife

Like a ram racing in the heavens

Breaking the branches of the stars, do you hear me

It’s me, do you hear me

I love you, do you hear me

Holding you and taking you and dressing you

In Ophelia’s white wedding dress, do you hear me

Where are you leaving me, where are you going and who, do you hear me

Is holding your hand over the floods

The huge basins and the volcanic lavas

There will be one day, do you hear me

When they’ll bury us, and after thousands of years

They’ll turn us into precious stones, do you hear me

To crush on them the heartlessness, do you hear me

Of Man

And throw the thousand pieces
In the water one by one, do you hear me

I count my bitter pebbles, do you hear me

And time is a big church, do you hear me

Where once the figures

Of the Saints

Shed real tears, do you hear me

The bells tear in the sky, do you hear me

A deep passage for me to pass

The angels await with candles and eulogies

I’m not going anywhere, do you hear me

Either nobody or both of us together, do you hear me

This flower of the storm and, do you hear me

Of loveWe cut it once and for all

And it cannot blossom otherwise, do you hear me

In another earth, in another star, do you hear me

The ground, the air that we touched,Is no longer the same, do you hear me

And no gardener was happy in other times

From so much winter and north winds, do you hear me

Throw the flower, just us, do you hear me

In the middle of the ocean

By the power of love alone, do you hear me

We created a whole island, do you hear me

With caves and headlands and blossoming cliffs

Listen, listen

Who’s talking to the water and who’s crying -are you listening?

Who’s searching for others, who’s yelling - are you listening?

I’m the one who’s yelling, I’m the one who’s crying, do you hear me

I love you, I love you, do you hear me.
