I Dance

Five, six, seven.
A body moves, it talks and doesn't lie,
it says what it feels.
It answers a call,
it's a language, it's a message.
It has two hearts and people at war as hostages,
hostiles, rivals, far away from each other on the same land.
Veins dilate, the rhythm begins.
I quickly breathe in and out in sync.
 
I untie all my ligaments,
I exclude the thought that unites us even from afar.
I dissolve all my tendons,
I lengthen them like bands to reach for them with my hand
and aiming at my feet with my barely flexed knee,
I turn myself around, but I fall - I recover my balance.
My muscles begin to vibrate,
the sweat on my skin makes me glow.
 
And I dance, I knock down the walls of the room.
I dance, and all the energy I have is a dance
that runs through walls, obstacles and frontiers
to turn our two fates into one,
welding them like metal.
I dance and I don't give up, I don't let go
and my heart is like a hammer
striking resounding drums.
It's a frenetic and rebellious rhythm.
 
And I dance, I dance and I'm flying.
I'm flying with the wind that will bring me to you.
I'm here to tell you you're insanely beautiful.
 
I dance, I dance until I faint
and until my last breath, I'll dance with you.
I want to believe nothing is impossible.
 
I clumsily stumble here and there like a drunkard.
With my hands on my face, I see you and feel you in a sigh.
Then I lightly plunge
and slow down like an astronaut with no gravity.
Then I let myself fall down a long vortex
for an eternal moment.
 
I dance during the day, during the night, under the rain and the sun,
amidst bombs exploding and thundering cannons,
but nothing and no one can stop me from it.
I was born to dance and I'll dance
like a sheet before a gust,
like a veil, a branch, a rope, a flag.
And when I dance every single thing is coloured
and I can pick them up like a flower.
 
And I dance, I dance and I'm no longer alone.
I move as if on glass because you're fragile.
I'm dancing with you and I absolutely like you.
 
I dance, I dance until I faint,
and until the last twist of this tango, I'll dance with you.
Make me believe that nothing is impossible.
 
Oh oh, I dance, dance and I'm flying.
I'm flying while I'm dancing, I dance next to you.
I look at you and I think you're deathly beautiful.
 
And I give a turn again, and then one jump and another,
and I don't stop, I'm never tired.
No, I don't give up - you're deathly beautiful.
