Are we strangers?
You angry girl,
whatever happened has happened,
I am still waiting here.
Just tell me your love,
kill me with your smile,
ruffle my hair,
I'm begging you, please.
My precious sweetheart,
I'll let you sleep upon my chest,
like your mother
singing a lullaby.
Locking my eyes with yours,
rubbing my nose against yours,
bringing my lips to your ear,
I will whisper my love...
Are we strangers?
You angry girl,
whatever happened has happened,
I am still waiting here.
Just tell me your love,
kill me with your smile,
ruffle my hair,
I'm begging you, please.
Where is love without touch?
Where is a rose without thorns?
All this time spent waiting
is no longer needed.
The life
that I live here,
is meant to be lived with you, isn't it?
Girl, tell me the dreams you have,
tell me, my darling.
Come, lovely girl,
I wrote a song
just for you.
It's enough if you just smile,
you mischievous girl!
Come to me, my queen, my very life...
You act like we're strangers,
you angry girl,
fine, whatever happened has happened,
and very sincerely,
I'm waiting for you.
Just tell me your love,
kill me with your smile,
ruffle my hair,
I'm begging you, please.
My precious sweetheart,
I'll let you sleep upon my chest,
like your mother
singing a lullaby.
Locking my eyes with yours,
rubbing my nose against yours,
bringing my lips to your ear,
I will whisper my love...
If there are
a few little crossed lines,
what's the harm, my girl?
If you think the path ahead is hard,
just say it's as light as a flower.
Are we strangers?
You angry girl,
whatever happened has happened,
I am still waiting here...
Just tell me your love,
kill me with your smile,
ruffle my hair,
I'm begging you, please.
