BLIZZARD OF LOVE
Written by Concetta La Placa.
I think back to time gone by forever.
To the two of us and our feeling.
It attracts and repels us with magic,
Like the heat of the flame.
It whispers among the fondest memories,
overcomes the gale of life.
We are confused by this mute passion,
relentless, oozing from the heart.
Ancient sail unfurled in the wind,
sails in the storm of love.
AGEMINA IS MY LOVE FOR YOU
Agemina is our love that,
rich in deep emotions,
Still oozes drops of ancient passion
And intertwines, with ardor of thought,
To our long silences,
laden with chiseled desire.
It weaves between hidden furrows of feeling
And digs into the most poignant and melancholy recesses
Of that longed-for life that was not
And that forever, never will be.
LOVE DEFEATS DEATH
Written by Concetta La Placa
The north wind will return again,
With it also the ancient memories.
It will blow hard inside my heart,
It will sweep the useless distance.
It will erase traces of loneliness,
Pushing all melancholy away.
It will be love
Beyond all pain;
It will fill every form of absence.
And eternal sentimental echo,
it will forever defeat death.
