I tuoi occhi
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
I tuoi occhi erano fissi negli occhi miei,
erano come chiodi nella mia carne
perché non potessi fuggire.
Mi sentivo smarrire,
sentivo aderire dolcemente alla terra i miei sensi.
Ma che c'era in quegli occhi?
Io non volli vedere.
Copersi il volto con un tessuto orientale
fatto di piume d'airone
e da un airone azzurro mi lasiai trasportare
lontano lontano con lui.
Soli su ali fantastiche
nel regno di fantastici sogni!
