I held your hands and there
were no more tears,
the eyes that were blessed
with a remarkable energy that day
As your head rested on my chest
my fortune slept in heavenly peace,
you felt my heartbeat
and I became the hero of your heart
as your head lay in fervent rest,
love gave me muscles to protect you,
because you were the only girl I found...
the only girl with fairy eyes,
the only one who longed for the song of my heart,
the only one who could make
me freeze time,
the only girl who could
make me dance in the galaxies of fantasy
But now you're hear,
I know no more the difference
between fantasy and reality
now my footprints turn to gold,
now that you are here with me
I promise,
that even if the clouds frown
and the sky falls to the ground,
the magic of our heart
shall make us sail on hurricanes,
and the whole world shall
know that love has made us powerful
If your extraordinary eyes
are the last thing I see
before I leave for heaven,
I will thank God for given
me a second heaven,
a second mighty paradise in heaven
if I am wrapped around your arms
even for the last time,
my spirit shall know rest till eternity
becomes infinity
When you are with me,
the thunder worships my feet
and the cyclones become my throne,
then the whole world
knows that love has given me bravery
When you are mine,
loneliness is slain,
I reached for your lips
and I wanted more,
an invincible sweetness I was
unable to resist,
I power so indispensible
for the sparkle of my being
as my hands reach for your right
cheek, I feel the earth put
to sleep by the lullaby of your happiness,
you are an almighty princess,
my love.
