[English]
Soul in pain
He lives, but barely speaks
He’s waiting
In front of this old photo
He, he’s not crazy
He just believes, that’s all
He sees her everywhere
He’s waiting standing up
With a rose in his hand
Apart from her, he waits for nothing
Nothing around
Makes sense
And the air is heavy
His gaze is vacant
He’s alone and speaks to himself often
He, he’s not crazy
He loves her, that’s all
He sees her everywhere
He’s waiting standing up
Standing, with a rose in his hand
No, no, nothing can hold him anymore
In his love story
In his love story
In his love story
His love story
Take my hand
Promise me everything will be fine
Hold me tight
Close to you, I still dream
Yes, yes, I want to stay
But I no longer know how to love
I’ve been so foolish
Please, stop
Stop, how I regret
No, I didn’t want all this
I’ll be rich
And I’ll give you all my gold
And if you don’t care
I’ll wait for you at the port
And if you ignore me
I’ll give you my last
breath of life
In my love story
In my love story
In my love story
My love story
A candle
Can light up the night
A smile
Can build an empire
And there’s you
And there’s me
And no one believes it
But love turns a fool into a king
And if you ignore me
I’ll keep fighting, again and again
It’s your love story
It’s your love story
It’s the story of a life
Love story
Love story
Love story
Love story
