[English]

Kiss me, kiss me a lot

As if tonight were the last time

Kiss me, kiss me a lot

Because I’m afraid of having you and losing you afterward

Kiss me, kiss me a lot

As if tonight were the last time

Kiss me, kiss me a lot

Because I’m afraid of having you and losing you afterward

I want to hold you very close

Look into your eyes, see you next to me

Think that maybe tomorrow

I’ll already be far away, very far from you

Kiss me, kiss me a lot

As if tonight were the last time

Kiss me, kiss me a lot

Because I’m afraid of having you and losing you afterward

Kiss me, kiss me a lot

Because I’m afraid of having you and losing you afterward

Because I’m afraid of having you and losing you

Later

...
