Qui [English translation]

Here, I'm so happy here

I do not get enough

Here, there is much to see

much to understand here

I have to stay here

I want to stay here

For a hundred years

or for the rest of my life

at least for this year

or just here for the summer

or until this spring

or at least for the winter here

for another day here

or just for this nights here

for another hour

or for another minute here

I begged only time to say a word

only briefly

only momentary

I'm so happy here

I do not get enough

I want to stay here

Can I stay here?

Here, because I can love

Here in this body

Here, I want to know why

and you can't say "yes"

I have to stay here

let me stay here
