[English]

I’m searching for you, my love

Ohhh aaah ohhh

I’m searching for you, my love

In my dreams, I can see you

What do I do, my love

To have you back again

I’m searching for you, my love

In my dreams, I can see you

What do I do, my love

To have you back again

I’m searching for you, baby

You can’t imagine how crazy I am for you

What we had was something physical

A passion hard to forget

Tell me when—when am I waiting? Now you’re with another man, traveling, ehhh

I’m still here waiting for you

Missing you, longing for you

I’m searching for you, my love

In my dreams, I can see you

What do I do, my love

To have you back again

I’m searching for you, my love

In my dreams, I can see you

What do I do, my love

To have you back again

It wasn’t me, it was you

Who wanted to break us apart

He doesn’t give you what I give you

How do I tell my heart

That being with you was a mistake

It wasn’t me, it was you

Who wanted to break us apart

He doesn’t give you what I give you

How do I tell my heart

That being with you was a mistake

How do I tell my heart that

I had you once

And you won’t come back, tell me, tell me

I spend my nights thinking of you

I’m alone with my pillow, watching over you

You don’t know how much I long for you

And how I cry for you

I feel like I adore you

You’re my treasure

But I can’t be without you

But you push me away

And I’d do anything for you

It wasn’t me, it was you

Who wanted to break us apart

He doesn’t give you what I give you

How do I tell my heart

That being with you was a mistake

It wasn’t me, it was you

Who wanted to break us apart

He doesn’t give you what I give you

How do I tell my heart

That being with you was a mistake

I’m searching for you, my love

In my dreams, I can see you

What do I do, my love

To have you back again

I’m searching for you, my love

In my dreams, I can see you

What do I do, my love

To have you back again
