[English]
The sky is already waiting
A projectile climbs through the night
And pierces God's clouded glory
I look down on a land of lights
Mother Earth flows through my hand
It’s time (the sky is already waiting)
My darling, it’s time
To go and to drift
Time, my heart, it’s time
To see and to live
The sky is already waiting
Weightlessly to the horizon
Up to the moon
The sky is already waiting
Up to the moon
Weightlessly to the horizon
A convoy of a thousand explosions
Hidden somewhere among the stars
Relative existence breaks the silence
A tear whispers God's will
It’s time (the sky is already waiting)
My darling, it’s time
To go and to drift
Time, my heart, it’s time
To see and to live
The sky is already waiting
Weightlessly to the horizon
Up to the moon
The sky is already waiting
Up to the moon
Weightlessly to the horizon
The sky is already waiting
Weightlessly to the horizon
The sky is already waiting
Weightlessly to the horizon
Up to the moon
The sky is already waiting
Up to the moon
Weightlessly to the horizon
The sky is already waiting
Weightlessly to the horizon
