La vita fugge et non s'arresta una hora, Et la morte vien dietro a gran giornate, Et le cose presenti, et le passate Mi danno guerra, et le future anchora; E 'l rimembrare et l'aspettar m'accora Or quinci or quindi, si che 'n veritate, Se non ch'i' ho di me stesso pietate, I' sarei gia di questi pensier' fora. Tornami avanti s'alcun dolce mai Ebbe 'l cor tristo; et poi da l'altra parte Veggio al mio navigar turbati i venti; Veggio fortuna in porto, et stanco omai Il mio nocchier, et rotte arbore et sarte, E i lumi bei, che mirar soglio, spenti. (F. Petrarca - Sonetto CCLXXII) If I could stop time... How many things that I would change from the past I'd set my life right If I could live forever How many emotions I would learn to control And feel what I want Time is running too fast for me You can't stop its course Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead Time is moving along too fast I can't think straight Won't take all the time that I need If I try I'll always be late I wanna kill time Win my own war to survive Only a chance... I'd surely not fail Time is running too fast for me You can't stop its course Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead Time is moving along too fast I can't think straight Won't take all the time that I need If I try I'll always be late Time is running too fast for me You can't stop its course Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead Time is moving along too fast I can't think straight Won't take all the time that I need I'll always be late
