[English]
I already know who I am
And what I did, was for my own good
I am who I wasn't, and I'll be tomorrow as a couple
Where are you going?
Wait for me
I will
Be better for you
...
Every time you leave
I feel the end
I don't want to
Stay here
...
You, mistress of yourself
You leave me like this
Without knowing what to do
You are what I want the most
If you go, I'll wait
Life without you
Has no flavor
Where are you going?
Wait for me
I will
Be better for you
...
Every time you leave
I feel the end
I don't want to
Stay here
...
I can't be without you
It's that I can't, be without you
Where are you going?
Wait for me
I will
Be better for you
...
Every time you leave
I feel the end
I don't want to
Stay here
...
Where are you going?
Wait for me
...
