I'm not sleeping, I keep my eyes open for you
I look outside, I look around
How swollen with dust and wind is the road
on the path leading back.
And when you'll arrive, when you'll come for me
look at that slice of sky
where your name is written, it's written on the iron
of a ring's circle.
And it still fills me with love
and it makes me sigh so,
now and whenever the enchantment will come back.
And if I look tired to you,
If I look defeated
If the best has already come and I wasn't able
to keep it inside me.
Old people already know why,
as do sad hotels,
they know too much lasts too little, and still it's not enough
and it's just for once.
And still, protect my heart's grace
now and whenever the enchantment will come back
the enchantment of you, you at my side.
I have stones in my shoes
and dust on my heart,
I'm cold in the sun
and words aren't enough.
I'm sorry if I sinned,
I'm sorry If I made mistakes,
if I wasn't there,
if I wasn't back.
But still, protect my heart's grace
now and whenever it will come back in time,
the time to go away, the time to stay,
the time to leave, the time to hug.
In wealth and in good luck,
in suffering and in poverty,
in joy and in celebration,
in grief and in pain,
in the cold and in the sun,
in sleep and in noise.
Everywhere, protect my heart's grace
Everywhere, protect your heart's grace
Everywhere, protect me among evil
Everywhere, protect your heart's grace
