[English]
I close my eyes and think of her
The sweet scent of her skin
It's a voice inside that's taking me
Where the sun rises
Words are sun
But if they are written, everything can change
Without fear anymore, I want to shout it to you
This great love
Love, only love
Is what I feel
Tell me why when I think, I only think of you
Tell me why when I see, I only see you
Tell me why when I believe, I only believe in you
Great love
Tell me you'll never, that you'll never leave me
Tell me who you are, breath of my days of love
Tell me you know that you'll only choose me
Now you know, you are my only great love
Tell me why when I think, I only think of you
Tell me why when I love, I only love you
Tell me why when I live, I only live in you
Great love
Tell me you'll never, that you'll never leave me
Tell me who you are, breath of my days of love
Tell me you know that I would never be wrong
Tell me you are, that you are my only great love
That you are my only great love
