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!"
