Amore al Tramonto

Dai amica mia che un giorno capirai che l'amor che ti do io non l'avrai mai, piu' mai! Quel giorno tu saprai che il vero paradis...

Ode to Silvana

Oh Silvana, oh Silvana, do smile as often

as you do when you are with me. Your cheeky

repartees bounce off me like cherries on a tree.

Such joy and happiness you bring each time

we meet for an activity! These have become

numerous and varied over the time I first uttered

your name: Silvana! You were then a real lightning

bolt that struck my chords with pure resonance.

Over the months of Summer and now in Autumn,

your bright eyes still hold my attention and project

towards me a surreal attraction. Always hoping

to see you, to talk to you, to text or video call you,

to be with you.These are our times in togetherness

as good friends. We enjoy each other's company

and love to share our meals and drinks when it's

time after our activities. There is something to do,

or make or write to keep our attention and interests.

We know how to read the other's needs and ensure

that they are met. A sign of great care and love,

appreciating our different personalities. We bounce

off each other as if we know naturally what to do or say.

No discord is ever too long, for harmony is the name

of our game. After all happiness can be a very brief

experience or it can mature as we hold hands

and move to our next meeting time! Oh Silvana,

oh Silvana, come along and let's be merry for

tomorrow is tomorrow, but today is time for fun

and play! Let's have more todays as we dance

to our favourite tunes or just sit quietly in a movie

theatre watching our chosen film. Let's drink

and be joyous as we sit on the sand waiting

for Sunset by the seashore. Oh Silvana, you are

a dream girl. So sogni d'oro until tomorrow

or till we meet again! Oh Silvana...
