To hear Jazz in New Orleans
to live two years in Paris
to feel for a full day that nothing is missing
to make a marathon of Pedro Almodóvar films1
to cut my hair and color it red
to suddenly fall in love in the middle of the street
to drink alone a bottle of Jack Daniel
to allow your head to do what it will2
To sleep with her on the sea shore
not to feel guilt feelings
to learn to play at least one song on the piano
to be right but despite that to leave it alone
to parachute from a airplane, to run away from the law
to invent some perfume with the smell of an infant
to choose her again after many years have passed
to dance the Agadoo3at the wedding of your great grandchildren
To live without regret
or at least to attempt to be happy
as much as possible
and to live the time that remains
before the gate closes
To get lost in a foreign city
to pass a month or two on a boat
to sleep with your son in a tent pitched in the desert
to feel for a full day that nothing is missing
to read Tolstoy
to make the Sabbath
to change myself instantly
Because i was already fine as expected
so a moment before that life will change
To live without regret
or at least to attempt to be happy
as much as possible
and to live the time that remains
before the gate closes
When the day will come to pass on
the sentry will request that i say
a few last words before the gate closes
i would want to summarize
with a full heart it was worthwhile
i lived my life... i lived my life fully
To live without regret
or at least to attempt to be happy
as much as possible
and to live the time that remains
before the gate closes
