Do you think that my heart will still give you trust? Or one word will bring back what used to be?

Do you think that my heart will still give you trust? Or one word will bring back what used to be?

Do you think that my heart will still give you trust? Or one word will bring back what used to be?

yearning with the affection?

Do you still remember

That was in the past

Do you still remember

That was in the past

Do you think that my heart will still give you trust

Or one word will bring back what used to be?

Do you think that my heart will still give you trust?

Or do you think that one word will bring back what used to be?

Or do you think that one look will re-create the tenderness and passion?

Do you still remember

That was in the past

Do you still remember

That was in the past

In my heart, all my days were spent in tears... that was my life

In my heart, all my days were spent in tears... that was my life

In my heart, all my days were spent in tears... that was my life

How often you took my love for granted! So each time my tears ran they wiped off my hope in you and my patience.

In my heart, all my days were spent in tears... that was my life

In my heart, all my days were spent in tears... that was my life

In my heart, all my days were spent in tears... that was my life

How often you took my love for granted! So each time my tears ran they wiped off my hope in you and my patience.

In my heart, all my days were spent in tears... that was my life

In my heart, all my days were spent in tears... that was my life

In my heart, all my days were spent in tears... that was my life

Words! words! are all that are left now. My love has vanished with my wounds.

Words! words! are all that are left now. My love has vanished with my wounds.

Words! words! are all that are left now. My love has vanished with my wounds.

What I suffered in the dark nights

What I suffered in the dark nights

What I suffered in the dark nights

Has been forgotten in the light of morning.

Today the love, the tenderness and the passion

Today the love, the tenderness and the passion

When you ask about them I will say they were in the past

When you ask about them I will say they were in the past

Do you still remember

They were in the past

Do you still remember

They were in the past

You enjoyed seeing my heart suffering. Suffering caused by your cruelty and empty days

You were listening to my "ah's" as if they were music. While I was burning the fire of their echo.

Fire, fire which slowly, slowly melted our love.

can allaya taerif (missing end part) You enjoyed my suffering and preferred cruelty and did not appreciate my love

Ah.... ah... ah...

You referred to my dark sorrowing nights thinking of you, as a game but for me that was part of my precious life.

I have decided to enquire about the meaning of all my doubts and tears.

While you were enjoying yourself

Seeing me worried and confused

You referred to my dark sorrowing nights thinking of you, as a game

Tell me. Now you know the end, what do you want from me? Have you come longing for my love or my tears and suffering?

Today love is a story "once upon a time"

When you ask me I will tell you

It was in the past

Do you still remember

It was in the past
