Yesterday you were in my arms,
Resting on my chest in the evening.
Why are only your memories left with me today?
A longing in my eyes,
A sadness in my dreams,
Why is there a slight anger in my heart, girl?
I am travelling far away,
Until this highway comes to an end.
Even if many days pass by,
Your memories will never fade within me.
My soulmate, my love story,
Without you, what is left of me anymore?
Until life leaves this body,
Where could I ever go away from you?
You are my other half,
And what I call my home
Is only wherever you are.
We will live in it,
Until the very end.
A drama in my life,
You staged it in just a fleeting moment.
I keep watching it every day
In my mind.
In loneliness, my heart
Searched for your memories;
As I look at them,
I lose myself.
I am travelling far away,
Until this highway comes to an end.
Even if many days pass by,
Your memories will never fade within me.
My soulmate, my love story,
Without you, what is left of me anymore?
Until life leaves this body,
Where could I ever go away from you?
You are my other half,
And what I call my home
Is only wherever you are.
We will live in it,
Until the very end.
Until the very end, hmm na na naanaanaa.
Time may pass, you may change,
And I may change too,
But will the time we shared ever change?
In my house, inside my room,
Wrapped in your love, under my care,
We will live together,
Until the very end.
