[English]
Maybe one day around this time
You won't remember the lyrics
To that song I wrote for you
Maybe life is so brief
Or that time doesn't remember
To avoid what we have to live
Come back, come back late but come back
Come back girl if you get lost
Today I want to see you
And fly, fly high while you can
Because life is a wheel
That never stops
No, you live waiting for a strange heart
To come here
And bring out the best in your body and soul
Today I feel that life shows me with you
Its blue side and it's all I ask to be happy
What do you ask for?
What do you ask for?
...
Maybe it will die in an instant
Out of fear of making a mistake
Everything I once dreamed of
Maybe I'll leap into the void
Like I once did with you
Without thinking about what would come next
Come back, come back late but come back
Come back girl if you get lost
Today I want to see you
And fly, fly high while you can
Because life is a wheel
That never stops
No, you live waiting for a strange heart
To come here
And bring out the best in your body and soul
Today I feel that life shows me with you
Its blue side and it's all I ask to be happy
What do you ask for?
That you live waiting for a strange heart
To come here
And bring out the best in your body and soul
Today I feel that life shows me with you
Its blue side and it's all I ask to be happy
What do you ask for?
What do you ask for?
