Do not take her to the city
The building and lights she’ll see
Their stellar parallax no more
between you and such grandeur

Skyscrapers and your back
Bridges’ tracks and your fingers
Hungry people and the look in your eyes

She’ll fall in love with the city,
and she’ll fall in love with you

The city is her dream
In which you took part
Another tall building in her heart

You became to her
as eternal as this city, pure

Later on,
when you are gone
Because of the past
The city’s joy won’t last

Do not take her to the city
Its magic isn't meant for you
to use

Because soon,
she’ll love you, too.
