Lovely precious moments
Brittle like crystal drops
Pure as innocence allows
...
You invited me for tea round your house
Hesitation...
but no trepidation
...
Love's strange endings
Have forced new beginnings on me again
Knowing this time,
There's no going back
...
Inside my mind
I hear the silent flutter of countless butterflies
The most gentle breeze caresses my face
My eyes are bluer than ever
...
To be grateful
To love
Even when the sky is grey
and you've just run out of coffee in the house
...
Could you be the reason I crave Autumn so much?
The distant melancholy of your loving touch
The Indian summer kisses under silky skies
Playfulness and laughter in your eyes
...
I will see you again
but you won't kiss my lips
and I won't hold your hand
We shall walk side by side
...
Surprising is as you well know
this meeting we commenced
The casual kiss from distant lands,
the fleeting touch of hands...
...
Noisy crows are circling round the ancient garden oak
Just fly away they cry, escape these sombre skies!
But no wings can take me back
...
A Moment's Embrace
Lovely precious moments
Brittle like crystal drops
Pure as innocence allows
I will collect you
Grasp you in my hands
Embrace you in the eagerness of my arms
and gently kiss you
Like snowflakes or snowdrops
to remind me of winter
when I'm full of summer's magic
And of summer meadows
When I'm cold

- IN ITALIAN:
L'abbraccio di un momento
Legiadri, preziosi momenti
Fragili come gocce di cristallo
Puri come l'innocenza consente
Vi raccoglierò
Stringendovi nelle mie mani
Vi abbraccerò nell'impazienza delle mie braccia
e vi bacerò delicatamente
Come fiocchi di neve o bucaneve
per ricordarmi dell'inverno
quando sarò colma della magia dell'estate
E di prati estivi
Quando avrò freddo
