[English]
And now you come to say, brown girl
That you don't want to be my little one anymore
And that you prefer to sleep and wake up
In the arms of someone else
You know, I know I was wrong
When I hid the truth from you
And it took me a while, but I'm here and the longing
Wouldn't let me forget you
It's not supposed to be this way
It's the fire of memory that warms me
I've done everything so that one day you'll return
I declared my love as if it were a prayer
And if I could, I would make you happy
And now you come to say, brown girl
That you don't want to be my little one anymore
And that you prefer to sleep and wake up
In the arms of someone else
And now I'm going to say, brown girl
That the past is no longer a problem
I'm destined to dream while awake
Thinking of seeing you smile
And I remember
Us two lying together in your bed
My shirt served as your pajamas
We laughed non-stop, thinking of getting married
And that kiss at the end of July
Silenced amidst so much noise
I know I was wrong and I regret it, but I swear
I won't live if I can't date you
And now you come to say, brown girl
That you don't want to be my little one anymore
And that you prefer to sleep and wake up
In the arms of someone else
And now I'm going to say, brown girl
That the past is no longer a problem
I'm destined to dream while awake
Thinking of seeing you smile
...
Who knows who will go
In this back-and-forth
To be happy telling you I love you
And now you come to say, brown girl
That you don't want to be my little one anymore
And that you prefer to sleep and wake up
In the arms of someone else
And now I'm going to say, brown girl
That the past is no longer a problem
I'm destined to dream while awake
Thinking of seeing you smile
To be happy telling you, brown girl
...
