(José José - I Want to Get Lost with You)

It makes me furious to see you

Just like a regular friend

And talk about what’s necessary

In front of everyone

It makes me furious to see you

After a morning

Of wild, nonstop love

And act like we never met

I go crazy

And my life slips away

Seeing you being caressed

Right in front of my eyes

Having to stay silent

Saying goodbye until tomorrow

Thinking that in the calm

You’ll enjoy without me

I want to get lost with you

Like the horizon fades away

Like birds in the night

Like the star and the sounds

And never, ever separate

Never, ever again

I want to get lost with you

And see you next to me

When I wake up

(Music)

It makes me furious to see you

Just like a regular friend

And tell you what’s necessary

In front of everyone

It makes me furious to see you

After a morning

Of wild, nonstop love

And act like we never met

I go crazy

And my life slips away

Seeing you being caressed

Right in front of my eyes

Having to stay silent

Saying goodbye until tomorrow

Thinking that in the calm

You’ll enjoy without me

I want to get lost with you

Like the horizon fades away

Like birds in the night

Like the star and the sounds

And never, ever separate

Never, ever again

I want to get lost with you

Like the horizon fades away

Like birds in the night

Like the star and the sounds

And never, ever separate

Never, ever again

I want to get lost with you

Like the horizon fades away

Like birds in the night

Like the star and the sounds
