The Prayer

THE PRAYER      

 
My beloved one, my dearest man,
I’m asking you for just one sentence
Only one: ‘I’m alive!...
I want to hear it again.
God Almighty, save him!
I’m living for this prayer
I love him, so dear to me…
My heart will turn cold without him.

My God! I’m asking you
From the bottom of my heart
Hear my desperate prayer!
If you gave me true love,
 don’t let it fall apart.
Bring him back to me
From the battlefield.

Save him, save my love
Rescue my loyal friend
Save him, save his soul
With him I shared so much pain
Becoming his fighting comrade.

Without him there’s no life,
Without him I lose the gift of speech
I cannot embrace my life
If I don’t live to see
The day in which we meet.

My love, my beloved man!
My sunshine, my happiness!
I’m petrified, once again…
Without you there’s only emptiness.
Just one sentence: I’m alive!
In this moment, I will regain my life.
