[English]

I miss the train... And I think of you

Where are you

I need to take a break

I want to cross the sea

And get away from the mountain range

While looking ahead

There's no ceiling in the sky

From your place, do you see... the sun

Nothing can break... this bond

I'm taking the train

The one that crosses the plains

On the road, I forget my pain

Think of me... think of me

To our parallel lives

It's destiny if I meet a beautiful soul

And you around the corner of a street just like that

Think of me... think of me

To our parallel lives... our parallel lives

I miss the train... And I think of you

Where are you

Like a child, I watch

A condor taking the wind

And knowing what you're thinking

Right now

Tonight, will you lay your eyes

On the same comet as mine

There are already dreams we share

Under the sheets

Nothing can break this bond

I'm taking the train

The one that crosses the plains

On the road, I forget my pain

Think of me... think of me

To our parallel lives

It's destiny if I meet a beautiful soul

And you around the corner of a street just like that

Think of me... think of me

To our parallel lives... our parallel lives

Hope, I remember

The happy days with you

I'm tired, I want to see you, I miss the train

Where are you

It's destiny if I meet a beautiful soul

And you around the corner of a street just like that

Think of me... think of me

To our parallel lives... our parallel lives

Sur La Meme Comete Que Moi
