Lyrics & Translation
It was finally becoming real
So much hearing about your silence
They say it drags you like the sea
I filled my suitcase with books
Also with old pictures of you
I drew your smile next to mine
I fell asleep with your coat on the sofa
I want to be by your side
I want to look at you and feel
I want to get lost waiting
I want to love you or die
The moment I saw your gaze searching for my face
The early morning of January 20th, getting off the train
I wondered what the rest of my life would be without you
And since then I love you, I adore you and I love you again
I took a train that didn't sleep
And I saw your face in a glass
It was a reflection of the midday sun
It was a love poem for traveling
I want to be by your side
I want to look at you and feel
I want to get lost waiting
I want to love you or die
The moment I saw your gaze searching for my face
The early morning of January 20th, getting off the train
I wondered what the rest of my life would be without you
And since then I love you, I adore you and I love you again
I lost you and I won't lose you
I will never leave you again
I looked for you far from here
I found you thinking of me
The moment I saw your gaze searching for my face
The early morning of January 20th, getting off the train
I wondered what the rest of my life would be without you
And since then I love you, I adore you and I love you again
