W A I T I N G


I've been waiting for you
Since the night
When the fight of light and darkness
ended with happiness.

I've been waiting for you
Since the day
When the first ray came to the earth
with divine mirth.

I've been waiting for you
Since the moment
When a beat was sent to my tireless pump
to throb and jump.

Ah ! Let me wait !
Till my last breath forgets earthly agony,
and sings with melody.

Ah ! Let me wait !
Till my lovely death embraces me
and makes me free.

Ah ! Let me wait !
Till my firm faith has love of thee
O come to me, come to me.
