Moon and the Night

I love you
like the moon loves the night

The moon exists
all the time
throughout the day
but it comes out
and shines
and smiles
only for the night

I love you
like the moon loves the night...

The Moon
grows in nights
and then vanishes in them as well
Night is the witness
Night is the companion
The night wakes up the moon when it comes
and night sings the lullaby before leaving
because night knows
and night understands
that the moon cares-not for the world
that the moon loves the night
like I love you.

I love you
like the moon loves the night..

Have you seen the moonless night?
When the many stars that decorate the night...
who are bigger
and brighter
and mightier
than the moon
prove to be pale
incapable of bringing the effect
that this low hanging
simple moon
does
in a simple manner
Have you seen
how the night
misses the moon?
Do you know
how the moon
lives in those nights?
When the night
is there
and the moon is there too
but the moon
has become
invisible to the night?
Do you understand
their anguish?
Would you say
that you love me
like the night loves the moon?
For I think I had heard the night
say something like that to the moon...
Was night lying
or was night
talking about you?

I love you
like the moon loves the night...
