When your eyes address me with this look I feel
The darkest road awaiting me ... Thus I stay still.
My courage deserts my body: too thick the secret knot,
The mind weakens suddenly, and so does the heart...
Please add a sweet word, the reserve of a caress:
Let not love get lost. Show me: don't close the road that leads to you.
I'm keeping your declaration, please treasure mine too.
I have not changed, I have not backed down, I have not yet retracted;
In purity of mind, I still stand by your side.
And even if you've closed the gate to a road that has disappeared,
I will not demand of you, the sacrosanct right of the husband.
Though the sun used to bless us together, beautiful starts can mislead
A lightning seems to have fallen, a venom to have planted its seed.
Here next to me, not a heart, not a soul, just a reflection of yours;
A proof of tasteless love, your voice that calls me my love.
I had the confidence that the most beautiful days of our existence
Would be born from that happiness, but I accept
That too much is too much, and yes, the best
Is for each of us to go, on our own quest.
