[English]
You know, it's been a while
Since I wanted to talk to you
About the things I carry in my heart
Nostalgia, I no longer know if it's
The right word to use
I still remember your way
I don't bring you gold
Because it doesn't enter heaven
And no wealth of this world
I don't bring you flowers
Because they dry and fall to the ground
I bring you my simple verses
But I made them from the heart
You know, it's been a while
Since I wanted to talk to you
About the things I carry in my heart
Nostalgia, I no longer know if it's
The right word to use
I still remember your way
I don't bring you gold
Because it doesn't enter heaven
And no wealth of this world
No, I don't bring you flowers
Because they dry and fall to the ground
I bring you my simple verses
But I made them from the heart
I made them from the heart
Heart
