Back – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Trans and subs by: Mary Tuan
Can you save me?
Remember that inside your drawer,
Remember that inside your wallet
there are pieces of me,
please don't forget them
In that photo,
your space continues,
your fragrance is my breath,
It can't disappear
Please don't leave me
like this spring wind left over,
Can you, save, can you, save me?
Like your perfume that I felt the other day,
when you passed me
Can you, save, can you, save me?
Save me
Save me
Come back! I want you back back back back back
back back back back back
Don't delete me from your memory
Come back! I want you back back back back back
back back back back back
While I'm wait for you in the same place you left me
I say: "save me!"
Save!
Can you save me?
I want to recover our memories one by one
Season after season
I want you back in my arms
Please don't leave me
like this spring wind left over,
Can you, save, can you, save me?
Like your perfume that I felt the other day,
when you passed me
Can you, save, can you, save me?
Don't lose me in time
Don't try to forget me please, please, please
Don't erase anything from me!
Come back! I want you back back back back back
back back back back back
Don't delete me from your memory
Come back! I want you back back back back back
back back back back back
While I'm wait for you in the same place you left me
I say: "save me!"
