[English]
Take me back to the past
Where everything was eternal
Our love was made of iron
No one could make us fall (hmm-hmm)
I know it's never too late (never too late)
To give you what I owe you (I owe you)
Because sometimes I still think (I still think)
How did I let us fall? (Let us fall)
I know I'll never be able to be
So close to touching you again
But how do I explain to you (how do I explain)
What you can't see? (Oh-oh)
I know you'll never let in
Someone who left you behind so soon
But I'm in the same place (in the same place)
How come you don't see? (Hmm-hmm)
I'll arrive from the end of the world
I don't bring gold or stars
I carry prayers from the future
I carry your name in my veins
It's never too late where I wait for you
Not even winter when you arrive
You can come all your life
I won't let you fall
Take me back to the past (take me back to the past)
Where everything was eternal (everything was eternal, eh)
Our love was made of iron (our love was made of iron)
No one could make us fall (no one could make us fall)
But I know it's never too late (I know it's never too late)
To give you what I owe you (what I owe you)
Because sometimes I still think
How did I let us fall?
I know I'll never be able to be
So close to touching you again
But how do I explain to you
What you can't see?
I know you'll never let in
Someone who left you behind so soon
But I'm in the same place (oh)
How come you don't see? (Eh)
Take me back to the past
Where everything was eternal
Our love was made of iron
No one could make us fall
And I know it's never too late
To give you what I owe you
Because sometimes I still think
How did I let us fall?
