When we first met
It was as if I already knew my secrets
Our teachers had the same names
The dead singers, years have passed
When you sleep you no longer clench your teeth
And now our teachers are different
From the first swim in the sea, to the last swim in the river
I can't stay, I have to go
My life is elsewhere now
And a very loud voice inside me shouts your name
You keep hurting yourself
But being together was enough
On the Euganean Hills and just be careful
To wild boars, to shooting stars
Be careful, be careful
You wrote 'I rely on you, Jesus'
At a mystical altar as in Hindu temples
There is everything inside, everything is sacred
It looked like a fire eater
Now they call you professor
You are no longer the same
But you still swim in the river
Collect stones, flowers, feathers
To sleep you want a recording of the sea waves
Or that of a thunderstorm
You took two degrees and other paths
But being together was enough
On the Euganean Hills and just be careful
To wild boars, to shooting stars
Be careful, be careful
Your heart without borders
Covered like Notre Dame on fire
You left Paris, you lost Paris
As in 1940, you left it to the Wermacht
You wrote to me 'I see you becoming a father
Lose your tracks
I see you writing on a train, in a bar, singing softly
Still fussing, seeking peace
Forever fussing, looking for peace'
But being together was enough
On the Euganean Hills and just be careful
To wild boars, to shooting stars
Be careful, be careful
I will always be there for you
Through the cosmic ages
Breaking physical laws
I will always be there for you
Through the cosmic ages
Breaking physical laws
I will always be there for you
