[English]
I want to be alone, but I can't do it by myself
I want to be together, but being alone is not possible
It's necessary to love forever, to love passionately
To be love at any time, to be love completely
Love from the inside out, love that I don't know
I want a greater love, a love greater than me
I want a greater love, a love greater than me
I want to be alone, but I can't do it by myself
I want to be together, but being alone like this is not possible
It's necessary to love forever, to love passionately
To be love at any time, to be love completely
Love from the inside out, love that I don't know
I want a greater love, a love greater than me
I want a greater love, a love greater than me
So I will follow my heart to the end, to know if it's love
I will hurt even so, even without wanting, to know if it's love
But I will be happier even while dying of pain
To know if it's love, if it's love
I want a greater love, a love greater than me
Much greater than me
I want a greater love, a love greater than me
A love greater than me
...
Much greater
Much greater than me
...
