The clock strikes the hours,

It's the alert and nimble time...

On its legs of steel,

Walking away on its eternal track.

In this uncertain universe...

We all go our own way

We bump into thousands of people...

Of any age

By the way...

But only a single ounce

Hang our gaze:

It' s our friends.

Hand in hand, we spend some sweet moments...

We learn about our temperaments

A mixture of pain and excitement

Intimate complicities are woven together

How much we love life to be like this!

But on a sad day, our pathways

Separate, we give each other the slip...

We' re off to explore other heavens...

And other glances

The first few days, we suffer,

In the coming days, we'll heal?

Sometimes the heart jealously,

In its depths etched the memory

Of some, we hardly forget them.
