Ckick, snap, a moment is captured,
But is reality reflected or is it just fractured?
You're intrigued and curious about the culture,
But is dignity maintained when you snap like a vulture?
La fotografia.
Chaotic traffic, ladies cooking in the street,
You see similar shots from the tourists you meet.
But your adventures are your own and you don't want to forget,
So you click and increase your own personal set,
La fotografia.
A look, an expression, can tell a story,
Losses and love, hope and glory.
But with a photo you can't smell the place,
Nor hear the noise of the insects or feel the heat on your face,
La fotografia.
Yet how special and unique photos are,
Exposing the souls of people at home and afar.
We all see a moment of life through the same lens,
Sharing experiences quickly among family and friends,
La fotografia.
A building will probably not change a lot,
But a photo evokes feelings you may have forgot.
You see beyond the stones and remember the day,
The weather, the people and what they had to say,
La fotografia.
You can lose yourself in a picture and add your own words,
You can imagine the context and the songs from the birds,
You can meet the people time doesn't give you the chance to see,
You can be thrown into the heart of a country and its' history,
La fotografia.
Of course there are times when a camera's not at hand,
Like unexpectedly seeing a crab crawl out of the sand.
Or the views from a beach on an early morning run,
An evening walk with a stunning setting of the sun.
But these are the pictures you can lock in your mind,
And recall with a glow when the world seems unkind.
You can use them to bring a smile to your face,
Once more allowing moments gone by to be embraced,
La fotograifa.
