As long as you are here, you are with me,
the day begins like a carol:
on a mild note, with an oneiric light,
with a cobweb of a pale dawn.
As long as you open every day
the sky of your bright eyes like arms,
as long as you are here, you are with me,
I float into the clouds, I float all on fire.
As long as you are here, you are close,
within reach of your arms, hands and sight,
you light the lamp like a fire,
near which I can find shelter.
As long as you are here, you are with me,
it’s here that the world begins and ends;
as long as you are here, you’re still here,
as long as I can keep you with me.
As long as you are here, you are with me,
it’s here that the world begins and ends;
as long as you are here, you’re still here,
as long as I can keep you with me.
