The Story Behind a Cup of Tea

A merchant of spicy and tea
He came from India
in Venice stopped his ship

a travel of work and conquer
soon became the occasion
to find love

That woman so kind and pure
She was the owner of a small Venetian bar

She looked at him
He was in the entrance
His eyes so deep where she wanted to loose herself

Inside that bar
eye to eye
They felt in love

Despite their life
So hard and sad
A curse that they could not break
And they were sure...
They'd found what they're looking for

Their marriage
So dragged and gray
Could not resist
To the wave of this new love

He promised to her
He will be back soon
With her in the future days
he wanted to look the moon

So he gave to her one cup of tea
and he kept the saucer
on his return they would have fixed them

A stormy sea
It made the ship sink

Despite her life
So hard and sad
A curse that she could not break
one cup of tea without her source
A woman will no longer feel love

No...

The woman's niece found the cup
With a sheet inside
"For ever mine" she read

In the same bar she looked a guy
He was from India he brought the missing saucer

He knew all the story behind
he wanted to find the cup and break the curse

They look into their eyes
A new love come from another time

And now the curse
Is broken down
They live the love
Buried by the sea
They feel the love closed by a cup of tea
