THAT DAY
I defy you my lady
I defy,
The arrogant shadow in your eyes
The stubborn color in your lips
Some day, my lady
I'll erase
those hesitated features with my kisses
Your arrogance, my lady
I'll turn it around, tears, sighs and aha's
The castle walls will crumble
under my heart's knocks
The blow of my fertile whisper will heat up your blossoms,
open wide your flowers.
I'll destroy the theater pillars, and kill Romeo
No one but you will remain onstage.
That day, my lady,
you will come to me,
your eyes as clear as the summer sky
your lips as naked as a child's lie
That day, my lady
Our hands will be knitted, without gloves
And walk through the days, nothing stopping us.
Two on the road
through the winter rain, and summer heat
Looking for spring in a little cottage.
Sometimes, we will stop
Only to catch our breath, and some kisses
That day, my lady,
you will rest your head on my shoulder
as your flying hair points to our coming days
