This song VIVERE is truly my most favourite song in the entire universe. One time, I was so weak that I could not even eat or drink. Yes, it was that bad. I was too weak to eat. Then one time, I woke up and realised that I was still breathing. Breathe is a such a gift that the only best way to appreciate the gift of breathing is if you hooked up on a machine to breathe for you. Which seems to be happening now a lot due to the … we will not say….
The nurse walked into my room and threw back the curtains and said “Martha, come to the window. Look at the sun. Look at the buildings. Look at the traffic. Look at all those people walking in the streets. They are only doing that because they still have breathe. BREATH Martha. When you get out, you will know what it means to say “Dare to Live”. Vivere.
I have never looked back. Yes, there have been ups and downs but I swear to you, if you have breathe, you are a million dollars rich. As long as you are breathing, you will make the $$$ later. Life is a gift. Embrace it. MLN
Vivere
And all the things you left behind
All those tender words you did not say
The gentle touch you couldn’t find
There is no one truth but only pieces
My life is all I have to give
Dare to live forget about the past
Dare to live giving something of yourself to others
Even when it seems there’s nothing more left to give
Davanti al tuo portone
Che dorme avvolto in un cartone
Se tu ascoltassi il mondo una mattina
Senza il rumore della pioggia
Tu che puoi creare con la tua voce
Tu, pensi i pensieri della gente
Poi, di Dio c’e solo Dio
Vivere, non si può vivere senza passato
Vivere è bello anche se non l’hai chiesto mai
Una canzone ci sarà, qualcuno che la canterà
Dare to live no one but we all (perché, perché, perché, perché non vivi ora?)
Dare to live until the very last (perché, perché, perché la vita non è vita)
Your life is all you have to give (perché)
Non l’hai vissuta, vivere!
Your life is all you have to give (perché)
Non l’hai vissuta mai
Say dare to live
Dare to live
