MISSING SOMEONE
 

If I could a day have wings like a bird,
And be carried by the strong winds across the sky,
To reach you even if just for a moment,
Ando so... end all my heart's sorrow.
 

If I had the power to transform myself,
I would transform myself into the spirit of love,
Spying inside of your room on moonlight nights,
And silently... admire you sleeping.
 

You sleeping like an angel exhausted by the struggles of life,
Sleeping like an angel quiet and tranquil, 
Resting while your day's thoughts
Pass through your mind.
 

If life gave me the power, 
I would transform into flowers the evil that surrounds you,
Into rest the tiredness in your life,
To reality... all your dreams.
 

If for a moment a miracle could happen,
Life of my life.
Close to you I would stay...
To love you more than as I have loved during all my life.
