[English]

I remember you so clearly

The salty water on your soft skin

Even though there was no sunshine

I had a real good time because of you

And I'm thinking about you now

What about you?

Are you thinking about me now?

I'm missing the joking, the laughter

The tears that we shed

The moments of instant joy

And I'm missing the water, the placid

The rain and your touch

That look on your melancholic face

And I'm thinking about you now

What about you?

Are you thinking about me now?

I remember those days clearly

The late night dinners, all those wishes

And sitting barefoot on that beach

I heard a bell and finally realized

And I think about you somehow

Yes it's true

And I'm thinking about you now

I'm missing the joking, the laughter

The tears that we shed

The moments of instant joy

And I'm missing the water, the placid

The rain and your touch

That look on your melancholic face

And I'm thinking about you now

What about you?

Are you thinking about me now?

You promised me this

I promised you that

But we had to go home and go on with our lives

You thought about this

You thought about that

But you're way too far like a fallen star

And I'm thinking about you now

And I'm thinking about you now

And I'm missing the water, the placid

The rain and your touch

That look on your melancholic face

And I'm thinking about you now

What about you?

Are you thinking about me now?
