Only leave me as I am, dreaming/of being a morning star courting the sun

Que sea nuestra vida presente de todo./Que busque futuro tan sólo en el alma./Que ensaye verdades. Que sienta en idea./Que siempre se extienda cortando distancias

tus dos manos ya no vuelvan a alzarme/a recoger del cielo su cosecha de estrellas
