Ephemeral Lives

Music: Rafael Basso

Lyrics: Aline Basso

I write your name in the snow

While I burn your kisses in the bonfire

Your lover has still not awakened

From her bygone dream

Ephemeral lives

Reflected in a past that doesn’t exist here

Anguish of a time that passed but never existed

The solitude of the eternal quest

I want to burn my rosary

Which doesn’t exist here

And burn your drawings

To be remembered in the future

That doesn’t exist here…

Silence

While I write your name in the snow

While I see your face reflected in the stars

While I try to cry

Tomorrow, maybe?

The snow could have melted

The bonfire could be extinguished

And I could be awakened to the past, present and future

That do exist here…

Silence

While I write your name in the snow

While I see your face reflected in the stars

While I try to cry

I want to burn my rosary

Which doesn’t exist here

And burn your drawings

To be remembered in the future

That doesn’t exist here…

Silence

While I write your name in the snow

While I see your face reflected in the stars

While I try to cry
