I live not knowing how I can resist
This fever that clings to your love.
They are whirlwinds with your name and my madness,
with your laugh and my bitterness, that torture my being.
I want not to want what I suffer to overcome
This wind of sadness and loneliness.
And again the whirlwind traps me
with your shadow, with my fate, without salvation.
Your voice... I hear your voice again.
You come back in the farewell,
and for what do I love you like this? And for what?
If your love, left my heart lonely,
without beating, without hope.
Your voice... I hear your voice again.
You come back in the farewell,
and the whirlwind with your laugh and my grudge
And your laughing and my pain, and I who gave all my love.
Your voice... I hear your voice again.
You come back in the farewell,
and the whirlwind with your laugh and my grudge
And your laughing and my pain, and I who gave all my love.
