[English]
Almost with you, my love
Almost with you, my love
Almost certain
I can feel the taste
I can't sleep anymore
I don't even speak of pain
I wake up
I see the warmth now
I know by heart the joy of coming back
It’s with you, after all
I'm going to lose myself completely, shamelessly
I see love now
Fall into this embrace that's only yours
My desire is so strong
Salted sea in my kiss
Come
Pretend you're only mine
From a goodbye that can’t be found
Salted Sea of rebellion
Almost there
Almost traveling
Uncertain dive
Ready to breathe
I know by heart the joy of coming back
It’s with you, after all
I'm going to lose myself completely, shamelessly
I see love now
Fall into this embrace that's only yours
My desire is so strong
Salted Sea in my kiss
Come
Pretend you're only mine
From a goodbye that can’t be found
Salted Sea of rebellion
...
Fall into this embrace that's only yours
My desire is so strong
...
Salted Sea in my kiss
Come
Pretend you're only mine
From a goodbye that can’t be found
Salted Sea of rebellion
...
