Poetry
is portrait
of me,
the painting
of us
the picture
of life,
a state of art
that never
ends...
You do not have the courage,
You have no courage,
To see beyond your shadow,
To see beyond it
You do not have the courage,
You have no courage,
To see beyond your shadow, to see beyond it,
And even if you had the courage to see beyond,
Would you see the camouflage? Will it reassure you?
More than my voice? More than my voice?
Wipe your make up again,
Go and live on your own island,
Forget about your marriage again,
Find another YES,
Da, da, da, da
Always another Yes
And if you had the courage
To leave with it too,
Would you forget the shielding?
Would you know it is my life?
Would you want to get lost in it?
Along with me and myself?
Take a look at the scenery,
Beyond the only star,
The vernissage is starting,
It moves you closer to her,
Take a look at the star,
Take another look at the star!
You do not have the courage,
You have no courage,
To see beyond your shadow,
To see beyond it
