[English]
Close that door
Without looking back
Embrace the fear and let yourself go
Wait, for time will heal
Who doesn't cry for you
Doesn't deserve to see you cry
Wipe your face and go out
You have nothing to lose
It's in your fears that you'll understand
It's not too late, oh, no
It's not too late
It's not too late, oh, no
It's not too late
It seems that the moon
Hides in the clouds
Afraid of what it wants to tell me
As if it had spoken to you before
And kept a secret
Since when have you been afraid?
Since when did our peace turn into a truce?
Since when does our love have rules, yeah
I don't feel that our last dance
Is now, my love
The end doesn't have this taste
Or does it?
And it's me who can't accept that one day
We won't even miss each other
That your embrace fits on another shoulder
That I will forget you one day to the point
Where you are just a memory of another crazy love
It's not too late, oh, no
It's not too late
It's not too late, oh, no
It's not too late
Wipe your face and go out
You have nothing to lose
It's in your fears that you'll understand
It's not too late, oh, no
It's not too late
It's not too late (it's not too late, oh, no)
It's not too late
