[English]
You have probably already forgotten about me
And, in the meantime, I will keep waiting for you
I haven't wanted to leave to see if one day
When you want to return, you still find me here
That's why I'm still in the same place as always
In the same city and with the same people
So that when you return, nothing seems strange
And it will be like yesterday, and we will never part again
I’m probably asking for too much
I forgot that we had already ended
That you will never return, that you never loved me
I forgot again
That only I loved you
...
That's why I'm still in the same place as always
In the same city and with the same people
So that when you return, nothing seems strange
And it will be like yesterday, and we will never part again
I’m probably asking for too much
I forgot that we had already ended
That you will never return, that you never loved me
I forgot again
That only I loved you
...
