[English]
I watched life go by, standing on the shore
Turned into a game I wanted but couldn’t stop
I drank so much love, so many nights at once, and I couldn’t
Hide my sadness, my sorrow, and my loneliness
How many times I truly felt defeated
Walking aimlessly, just wandering for the sake of it
At times, I lost hope of one day
Sharing my home with someone, just like you
Like you
I dreamed of someone like you
Someone who would suddenly change my dreams, my luck, and then you arrived
Someone who would make love to me like you
Someone who would fight, just like you
Just like you
Just like you
Like you
I wanted someone like you
Someone who would be my owner, my light, my guide, and then you arrived
Someone who would make me feel alive like you
With that tenderness, just like you
Just like you
Just like you
...
When memories of so many Sundays come back to me
Sharing my room with no one, nothing to say
I drank so much love, so many nights at once, and I couldn’t
Hide my sadness, my sorrow, and my loneliness
Like you
I dreamed of someone like you
Someone who would suddenly change my luck, my dreams, and then you arrived
Someone who would make love like you
Someone who would fight just like you
Just like you
Just like you
Like you
I wanted someone like you
Someone who would be my owner, my light, my guide, and then you arrived
Someone who would make me feel alive like you
With that tenderness, just like you
Just like you
Just like you
Like you
I dreamed of someone like you
Someone who would suddenly change my dreams, my luck, and then you arrived
Someone who would make love to me like you
Someone who would fight, just like you
Just like you
Just like you
