[English]
And if it's just for nostalgia
All this melancholy that takes over me
Every evening
And if it's jealousy
That makes me see things
That only exist in my mind
And if they’re emotions
All those feelings of annoyance and fear I have
When I see your thoughts
And I realize that since yesterday
You had already gone away
And if it's a song
Made just to remember
Those moments when you were mine, oh
And if it's an illusion
All this cursed passion
That for a moment took me away
That took me away
...
And if it's just for nostalgia
All this melancholy that takes over me
Every evening
And if it's jealousy
That makes me see things
That only exist in my mind
And if they’re emotions
All those feelings of annoyance and fear I have
When I see your thoughts and
I realize that since yesterday
You had already gone away
And if it's a song
Made just to remember
Those moments when you were mine, oh
And if it's an illusion
All this cursed passion
That for a moment took me away
That took me away
And if it's a song
Made just to remember
Those moments when you were mine
And if it's an illusion
All this cursed passion
That for a moment took me away
And if it's an illusion
That for a moment took me away
And if it's an illusion
All this cursed passion
That for a moment took me away
