Lyrics & Translation
The first time I met her
I can't remember how but
She got inside me and stayed
I live for her because she makes me
Feel my soul vibrate strongly
I live for her and it’s not a burden
I live for her, you know it too
And don’t be jealous
She belongs to everyone who
Always has a need burning bright
Like a stereo in a room
For those who are alone and now understand
That it’s also for him, that’s why
I live for her
She’s a muse inviting us
To touch her with our fingertips
Through a piano
Death is far away
I live for her
I live for her, who often knows
How to be sweet and sensual
Sometimes she hits me in the head but
It’s a punch that never hurts
I live for her, I know she makes me
Travel from city to city
Suffer a little, but at least I live
It’s pain when she leaves (I live for her inside hotels)
With extreme pleasure she grows (I live for her in the whirlwind)
Through my voice
It spreads and creates love
I live for her, I have nothing else
And many others I’ll meet
Who, like me, have written on their face
I live for her
I live for her
On stage or against a wall (I live for her on the edge)
Even on a tough tomorrow (I live for her at the margin)
Every day
A conquest
The protagonist
Will always be her
I live for her because now
I have no other way out
Because music, you know
I’ve never truly betrayed it
I live for her because she gives me
Breaths and notes in freedom
If there were another life, I’d live it
I’d live it for her
I live for her, music
I live for her (she is my only)
I live for her
I live for her
I live
For her
