Walking blindly for so long,
without a clear objective, rushing to work,
walking, thinking that life is in vain,
looking back to see if anyone is following you,
remembering chimeras, living in solitude,
walking towards death, regretting loving!
That's how I lived, until you were brought to my eyes,
My child, moving heavens and stars, I saw you
causing a ruckus, making yourself heard!
How can we not thank the winds, the earth,
If since we opened the windows, we loved each other
and there will never be a love like it in the world.
We love each other so much that without having you, I am seeing you,
that my soul and heart are in your hands,….
that my plans are your plans and yours are mine,
that by sowing we build and the libertarian utopias are there,
your happiness, that of the children, that of everyone, joy, joy beyond measure
and the people wake up, forging their utopias wherever they go!
