Cinema Paraiso (engl.) Letra

Once upon a time There was a stroke of magic Shadows and light, in their prime, Joined dream and fantasy In a ritual dance of seduction And ecstasy Known as pictures in motion Let the music start! On the silver screen Of my heart I swear that I?ve seen The child I?ve always been. This loneliness of mine Will go away, soon, When the lights go off And my eyes shine In the darkness of this room At a theatre called Paradise Before my eyes My heart flies At 24 images per second. The film will end In a while Will I cry? Will I smile?
