[English]
Let go of the girls
Let go of the girls
One day it will be you who is left behind
Let go of the girls
Let go of the girls
One day it will be you who will cry
Yes, I cried but that day
No, I will not cry
No, I will not cry
I will say it's well deserved for you
I will say this will teach you
I will say this will teach you
Let go of the girls
Let go of the girls
It will play a bad trick on you
Let go of the girls
Let go of the girls
You will pay for it one of these days
You don't play without consequences
With an innocent heart
With an innocent heart
You will see what I feel
Before long
Before long
Luck abandons
Those who do not know
But leave the wounded hearts
You will have no one
To comfort you
You won't have stolen it
Let go of the girls
Let go of the girls
One day it will be you who is left behind
Let go of the girls
Let go of the girls
One day it will be you who will cry
No one will be there to complain
No one but you
No one but you
Then you will remember
Everything I tell you here
Everything I tell you here
Then you will remember
Everything I tell you here
Everything I tell you here
Then you will remember
Everything I tell you here
Everything I tell you here
Then you will remember
Everything I tell you here
