| [00:05.00] |
I want you to know |
| [00:05.95] |
one thing. |
| [00:08.21] |
You know how this is: |
| [00:11.00] |
if I look |
| [00:11.55] |
at the crystal moon, at the red branch |
| [00:14.66] |
of the slow autumn at my window, |
| [00:18.08] |
if I touch |
| [00:18.92] |
near the fire |
| [00:19.71] |
the impalpable ash |
| [00:22.07] |
or the wrinkled body of the log, |
| [00:25.21] |
everything carries me to you, |
| [00:28.22] |
as if everything that exists, |
| [00:30.45] |
aromas, light, metals, |
| [00:34.72] |
were little boats |
| [00:35.62] |
that sail |
| [00:36.27] |
toward those isles of yours that wait for me. |
| [00:40.75] |
Well, now, |
| [00:42.56] |
if little by little you stop loving me |
| [00:45.74] |
I shall stop loving you little by little. |
| [00:50.96] |
If suddenly |
| [00:51.61] |
you forget me |
| [00:53.14] |
do not look for me, |
| [00:55.51] |
for I shall already have forgotten you. |
| [00:59.77] |
If you think it long and mad, |
| [01:01.40] |
the wind of banners |
| [01:02.72] |
that passes through my life, |
| [01:05.06] |
and you decide |
| [01:05.91] |
to leave me at the shore |
| [01:07.11] |
of the heart where I have roots, |
| [01:09.89] |
remember |
| [01:11.89] |
that on that day, |
| [01:13.78] |
at that hour, |
| [01:15.71] |
I shall lift my arms |
| [01:17.86] |
and my roots will set off |
| [01:19.34] |
to seek another land. |
| [01:22.91] |
But |
| [01:25.33] |
if each day, |
| [01:27.31] |
each hour, |
| [01:29.07] |
you feel that you are destined for me |
| [01:31.06] |
with implacable sweetness, |
| [01:34.16] |
if each day a flower |
| [01:35.48] |
climbs up to your lips to seek me, |
| [01:38.78] |
ah my love, ah my own, |
| [01:42.78] |
in me all that fire is repeated, |
| [01:46.46] |
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, |
| [01:50.35] |
my love feeds on your love, beloved, |
| [01:54.04] |
and as long as you live it will be in your arms |
| [01:58.27] |
without leaving mine. |
