[English]
It's true, believe me, it happened
At night on a bridge
Watching the dark water
With the damn desire
To jump right in
Suddenly someone behind me
Maybe an angel disguised as a passerby
Took me away, telling me so
Wonderful
But how come you don't realize
How the world is
Wonderful
Wonderful
Even your pain
Can heal someday
Wonderful
But look around you
What gifts they've given you
They've invented the sea
You say: "I have nothing"
Is the sun nothing to you?
Life, love
Wonderful
The goodness of a woman
Who loves only you
Wonderful
The light of a morning
The hug of a friend
A child's face
Wonderful
Wonderful
Wonderful
Wonderful
Wonderful
But look around you
What gifts they've given you
They've invented the sea
You say: "I have nothing"
Is the sun nothing to you?
Life, love
Wonderful
The goodness of a woman
Who loves only you
Wonderful
The night now over
And I still felt you
The love of my life
Wonderful
Wonderful
Wonderful
Wonderful
Wonderful
