How much I want to cry in this gray afternoon
In its peal the rain speaks of you.
ItÂs the remorse of knowing
that it is my fault that IÂll never,
love… never see you again.
My closed eyes see you same as yesterday;
trembling, pleading for my love again…
Today your voice comes back to me,
in this gray afternoon.
«Come,»
very sadly youÂd say…
Ãthat in this loneliness
my soul canÂt take it anymoreÄ.
ÃCome…
and have mercy on my pain,
I am tired of crying,
suffering and waiting
and talking all alone
with my heartÄ.
ÃCome…
if you donÂt come today
IÂm going to drown in my own tears…
No,
itÂs impossible to live this way,
with this love stabbing me
like a curse!
I couldnÂt comprehend your desperation
and happily I run after another love…
How lonely and sad I found myself
when I realized how far away I was
and understood how I deceived you.
My closed eyes see you same as yesterday;
trembling, pleading for my love again…
Today your voice is bleeding in me,
in this gray afternoon.
