[English]
It's cold and I'm far from home
I've been sitting on this stone for a while
I wonder
What are wars even for?
I've got a rocket in my pants
You're as cold as the snow around me
You're so pale, I don't know what to do
The other night I waited for you
In the rain for two hours
A thousand hours like a dog
And when you arrived, you looked at me
And you told me, "Crazy
You're soaked, I don't love you anymore"
At the circus, you're already a star
A red star who imagines everything
If they ask you, you didn't know me
No, no
I've got a rocket in my pants
You're as cold as the snow around me
You're so pale, I don't know what to do
...
I waited for you in the rain, no, no, no
...
The other night I waited
In the rain for two hours
A thousand hours like a dog
And when you arrived, you looked at me
And you told me, "Crazy
You're soaked, I don't love you anymore"
The other night I waited
In the rain for two hours
A thousand hours like a dog
And when you arrived, you looked at me
And you told me, "Crazy
You're soaked, I don't love you anymore"
