1I want to dedicate this poem
To all the women we love
For some secret instants
To the ones we barely know
That a different fate leads
And we never see them again
2
To the one we see appearing
For a second in our window
And who, quickly, disappear
But that slender silhouette
Is so gracious and slender
That we remain in awe
3
To the travel partner
Whose eyes, charming landscape
Make the road feel short
That we're just, perhaps, to understand
And yet let it descend
Without having touched her hand
4 (not present in the song)
In the fine and soft waltz
That seems sad and nervous
For a carnival night
Who wanted to remain unknown
And who never came back
Swirl in another prom
5
To the ones who are already caught
And who, living grey hours
Near a too different being
You have, useless folly,
Let see the melancholy
Of a hopeless future
6(not present in the song)
To these timid lovers
Who remain silent
And still bear your mourning
To those who've already gone
Far from you, sad and lonely
Victims of a stupid pride
7
Dear sighted images
Hope's of a deceived day
You'll be in the forgetfulness tomorrow
As long as happiness comes
It's rare that we remember
Of the episodes of the journey
8
But if we miss her life
We remember with a bit of jealousy
All of these glimpses of happiness
To the kisses we didn't dare give
To the hearts that have to wait for you
Yo te eyes we never seen again
9
So, in the evenings of weariness
While populating her loneliness
Ghosts of memory
We cry with absent lips
For all of these beautiful passersby
That we didn't know how to hold back
