I - When Solitude Shines on Its Own

Wandering in the dark of night, through the lifeless outskirts streets
With their cement heart and steel lungs swallowing up all my thoughts
In spite of dawn is near, everything is still sleeping in silence
Lulled by rain, whose ticking tumbles on houses roofs with its hypnotizing pounding

Falling drops sweetly strike my face, mixing with the flowing tears
As my fragile hopes are shattered by this empty isolation
I’ve walked along every corner of my subconscious
In vain, Without finding any answer

When solitude shines on its own
All my certainties eclipse, facing the unknown
Inquietude dries all this flow
Like rays of an unborn sun

Now that my childhood dreams are vaguer, as time goes by
I’ll never have a second chance until when I’ll pass away
“A common person walking to and fro across life’s blind alleys”, they’ll think
And a grave will be like home to me when I am gone

When solitude shines on its own
All my certainties eclipse, facing the unknown
Inquietude dries all this flow
Like rays of an unborn sun

I’m almost home
I only have to reach the end of the street
Now a starry nightsky leads me through houses rows
I fall asleep while dawn appears at sunrise
