Elixir De La Vida

Life slides
like a snake through the universe
and you who are asleep
will remain asleep until I plant a kiss on you

In the middle of your dream
someone reveals to you the reason for the mysteries
but upon waking from the dream
every secret slips through your fingers

I want to drink / from that elixir of life
to see again / the woman asleep burning

You will be my alcohol, my vice
my reminder of death
you will also be my luck
but you will not be my downfall

I want to drink / that elixir of life
to see again / the woman asleep burning
