[English]
Today, the sun shines through my window
And my heart feels sad
Gazing at the city
Why are you leaving?
Like every night, I wake up
Thinking of you
And I watch the hours pass on my clock
Why are you leaving?
All the promises of my love
Will go with you
You will forget me, you will forget me
By the station
I will cry just like a child
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Beneath the shadow of a lantern
They will fall asleep
All the things left unsaid
Will fall asleep
Next to the clock's hands
They will wait
For all the hours left to live
They will wait
For all the promises of my love
Will go with you
You will forget me, you will forget me
By the station
I will cry just like a child
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
All the promises of my love
Will go with you
You will forget me, you will forget me
By the station
I will cry just like a child
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
All the promises of my love
Will go with you
You will forget me, you will forget me
By the station
I will cry just like a child
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
Why are you leaving?
