Cartagine
Emanuele Aloia
Carthage
When we're together, time first speeds up and then goes in reverse
For every battle we’ve fought, I think of all the kisses that were stolen from us
We said enough without ever saying goodbye
Because we already know that one day we’ll meet again
In this life or another, I’ll be there with you
What I see is blurry, but you stay in focus
So I take a step back just for a moment
Every time I’m with you
It’s like a revolutionary event
The East-West Schism, the fall of Carthage
Every time I say I love you
Only for you, the sea moves the tides
Time shifts the hands, writes new pages
When I hold your hand
The Berlin Wall falls, the Roman Empire crumbles
Back then we were what no one could imagine
In the midst of a thousand centuries of history at the Emperor's court
I’ve never told you, but you know for me
You’re what I never thought could exist
If one day you leave, I want you to know that
We’ve always been us inside that kiss in Times Square
Every time I’m with you
It’s like a revolutionary event
The East-West Schism, the fall of Carthage
Every time I say I love you
Only for you, the sea moves the tides
Time shifts the hands, writes new pages
When I hold your hand
The Berlin Wall falls, the Roman Empire crumbles
Just us two like satellites
Who’ve seen the moon up close
We loved each other so much that I have no memory
But I’d start all over again from prehistory, ah, ah
For you, I filled the ocean with tears, ah, ah, ah
Because you’re fragile like Carthage
Every time I’m with you
It’s like a revolutionary event
The East-West Schism, the fall of Carthage
Every time I say I love you
Only for you, the sea moves the tides
Time shifts the hands, writes new pages
When I hold your hand
The Berlin Wall falls, the Roman Empire crumbles
