[English]
Sometimes a moment comes when you suddenly realize you're getting old
Without wrinkles on your forehead, but with a desire to die
Walking through the streets, everything has the same dull color
I feel like I'm missing something, I don't know if it's love
I wake up at night, caught in a great confusion
This deep melancholy is wearing me down
I feel like I'm going crazy and drowning in alcohol
The stars at night have lost their brilliance
I've searched in the deserts of the land of pain
And I've found no answers but illusions and mirages
I've spoken with the mountains of despair
And their only reply was the dull echo of my own voice
Sometimes a moment comes when you suddenly realize you're getting old
Without wrinkles on your forehead, but with a desire to die
Walking through the streets, everything has the same dull color
I feel like I'm missing something, I don't know if it's love
