[ You love me, you do ]

You love me, you do

know what love is, and that is --

[ Fairies are dancing ]

Fairies are dancing

in the coral, its colours --

[ I threw my suitcase ]

I threw my suitcase

into the hole and I jumped --

back into my youth.

[ No one cares about ]

No one cares about

what I did wrong in the past --

yet it torments me.
