Stella Cadente by Alessandra Giubilato

A song about the actress Maria Montez

SHOOTING STAR
María Montez (June 6th, 1912– September 7th, 1951)

Happiness, I looked for it in people’s mouth
Not in smiles, but in lips disclosed to the firmament
Because nobody is indifferent to stars,
Stars never show themselves switched off
Because nobody is indifferent to stars,
I thought that too, before I became a shooting star.

If you will offer your soul,
You will have success and fame
In the mirror your world will love you
Only a pledge and I can already hear it, your name in eternity
When the night will come on your face

Happiness, I looked for it the people’s hands,
not in caresses but rounds of rain on my name
And I will shine the most, among all the heavenly bodies,
I will gleam the most, only with my garments
Because stars never remain indifferent,
But now I’m resting among many other shooting stars
