“On the wings of song”
I’m going to travel
On the wings of song
Until I find inspiration to compose
A sublime love poem
I want to join
The most beautiful musical notes
To make happy my heart
That has already suffered too much
Oh muse, help me like before
Don’t abandon me now
In the sunset of life
I know that my mind is tired
There have been so many mornings
So many lost illusions
I want verses full of lyricism
To pull my poor heart
From the abyss
Rich melody framing the fantasy
Of my imagination
