In that crucial moment, our naked souls met
And the days and nights
And the centuries
And all the millennia dissolved like mist.
And in that shared silence, we leaned towards the Original Source
And our reflections gazed at each other in eternity
You are not the shadow that preceded you, I am not the echo that follows me.
We are two beings in constant rebellion
Two cries of solitude
That resonated in unison
And shattered the crystals of love
We have not yet deciphered ourselves
We have not yet discovered who you are behind the veil, who I am behind the mask.
But your face is the vanguard
Welcome you will be
Welcome you will be
May some specter of unexperienced love
Reveal this secret
And come as a voice to name us
And locate us on the existential map
In a square, an avenue
A street, a sidewalk
A terrestrial paradise, the patio of your house
Or mine
In a dark room on our mattress on the floor
You can come back tomorrow
At dawn
And break the morning as you broke my soul
You can come to reclaim your essence
I have kept our sky intact
Although the same sun does not shine
Nor does the same thunder rumble
But your voice comes to me
Much before your image in my labyrinth of memories
Where the condemnatory clock turns
But your face is the vanguard
Welcome you will be
Welcome you will be
You are not the shadow that preceded you, I am not the echo that follows me.
We are two beings in constant rebellion
Two cries of solitude
That resonated in unison
And shattered the crystals of love.
