Lyrics & Translation

[English] If I counted the time I spend staring at the ceiling
Thinking of her, I get drunk
I take advantage, I'm a young man
Very determined and satisfied
I wouldn't think that I don't love her, that I'm over her
That she's never my first priority
I wouldn't think she's the most beautiful
In the world and part of the foreign lands
And if I find myself wanting to see her
I climb the wires she has on the fence
I jump flying until I have her close
And if I come face to face with her
It seems like all the stars go out
A blackout
I don't know what she has on her face
That even my gaze fades away
I don't know what she has on her lips
When she kisses me, my soul brushes against my heart
What does she have in her eyes?
When she looks at me, I go crazy (He goes crazy)
If she counted the mornings I go out to find her
She wouldn't think I'm a nobody
When I cross paths with her gaze
It's that my wires get crossed
That joy is like a bag of sweets
That it's not eternal, that it ends
But my love is from another planet
That never runs out of batteries
And if I find myself wanting to see her
I climb the wires she has on the fence
I jump flying until I have her close
And if I come face to face with her
It seems like all the stars go out
A blackout
I don't know what she has on her face
That even my gaze fades away
I don't know what she has on her lips
When she kisses me, my soul brushes against my heart
What does she have in her eyes?
When she looks at me, I go crazy
And in the afternoon, I sit in her shade, I take off my hat
What I don't want is for the sun to set
Then I sleep peacefully if I steal a kiss from her lips
And if the weather is nice, if the weather is nice
I take a stroll, it's been a long time since I've seen her
I find myself crossing the gates of heaven
It costs me nothing, I don't hold back, I want to bullfight
And if I find myself wanting to see her
I climb the wires she has on the fence
I jump flying until I have her close
And if I come face to face with her
It seems like all the stars go out
A blackout
