Reminiscing all those I love and dancing my life away in slow motion!

It is like being at the back of a disco, where everyone is smoking and drinking a whisky
My heart is not skipping a beat, quadriphonically
It is as if, in a haze, somebody had brought back
the future in my memory
 
The slow of my life
You are not here to dance it with me
The slow of my life
I do not know whom I could choose to replace you and be now here with me
Tonight my eyes are wide open, as wide as the sea
And my heart feels as empty as the universe
as empty as the universe in its immensity
The slow of my life looks like a love story that never ever started
 
Like a night without tomorrows
Like a bird without a rainbow
I do not like a life ending slowly in a low glow
I love you everyday more, everyday better
You are that someone whose memory will linger in my memory for ever
 
This slow dance of my life
Is my loneliness dancing in slow motion
This slow dance of my life
Is happiness itself chasing away all my sleepless nights
 
Tonight my eyes are wide open, as wide as the sea
And my heart is as empty as the universe
This slow dance of my life
Is like a word written on my mirror
 
While Noise is making love to Boredom
A poet is writing a song in the middle of the night
And a piano is dreaming of a symphony
 
This slow dance of my life,
You are not here to dance with me
This slow dance of my life
You are the only one that can dance it with me
 
Tonight, my eyes are wide open, as wide as the ocean
and my heart is as empty as the universe
This slow dance of my life
Is like a love that has never started
This slow dance of my life
Silently
This slow dance of my life
I will never forget you, never ever
*(I just changed the last line because, I dedicate this translation to Marianna Mirno, today in Syria, her country torn by war, who has just announced me that she is now, officially, a Doctor!)*
