I wish I could stop time
in your eyes inside of mine.
How many promises fizzle out—
at times, you do not know why—
and then two eyes rekindle them
in a doorway or in some cafe.
Those two kids are in love
In the dark of the suburbs
but how many loves are found anew
inside a song, a poem?
I wish I could stop time
in your eyes inside of mine,
with the desire to change
everything together with you
and to stop those moments
each time you go away—
I wish, yes, I wish.
I wish I could change the world,
but the world changes me—
so much desire to reveal inside your soul.
I wish to have you alone
and instead you are not alone.
I wish, yes, I wish.
How many words are wasted
if the love then falls to pieces.
Hopes and doubts get confused
like children when they grow up.
I wish I could stop time
in your eyes inside of mine,
with the desire to discover
everything together with you
and to stop those moments
each time you go away—
I wish, yes I wish.
I wish, yes, I wish.
I wish you were alone
and instead you are not alone.
I wish, yes, I wish.
How much those kids are in love!
I, on this night—I think of you.
