There… when the ash of time will cover our relation 
Nothing except my poetry can offer me a real sedation… 
When no place for words, no place for smiles 
When our hearts are far one thousand miles… 
Only the pen will be my friend 
 Bringing me back to a world of temptation… 
 
There…when you break the shell of love 
When the bodies travel, when the memories fade 
The pain will be the witness of our great failure… 
There…How can you still be for my life the dress and the tailor?  
There…everything will be in black… 
The sea, the boat and the dead sailor…
