In a beat of the heart

An infinite second

Day merges with night, in a tear,

A storm of feelings that leaves no choice

And in an instant, when all is clear,

In a beat of the heart, there's no more noise.

The beauty of a nightingale singing with passion,

A moment lasts an hour when the light appears.

With heart and soul in unison

In a beat of the heart, reason disappears.

In a beat of the heart, feelings flood in

Deeply buried joys and sorrows

And when he insists, it all begins,

In a beat of the heart, we see a white rose.

When it's over, we still think about it.

From one heartbeat to the next, for a lifetime

What is this love that we have to admit?

In a beat of the heart, which is mine.
