Before you go, give me a kiss
I know I'll dream of your return
My life is not the same
Now that I lost you
How am I going to forget you?
How am I going to forget you?
I know you told me
That love exists
And its power is to do whatever it takes
To change destiny
And stay with me
Because I can't stand the idea
That a long-distance love
Strengthens trust
And ends up being an odyssey
That's the reason
But my heart is winning this fight
And your memory is killing me
I'll be waiting here until death
Never forget
I keep loving you
I'll be waiting here until death
Before you go, give me a kiss
I know I'll dream of your return
My life is not the same
Now that I lost you
How am I going to forget you?
How am I going to forget you?
I spoke with the man
I saw in the mirror
He told me to let it fly
And go far away
That if that love returns, it's yours
And if it doesn't, it never was yours
So follow my wise advice
And your memory is killing me
I'll be waiting here until death
Never forget
I keep loving you
I'll be waiting here until death
Before you go, give me a kiss
I know I'll dream of your return
My life is not the same
Now that I lost you
How am I going to forget you?
How am I going to forget you?
How am I going to forget you?
How am I going to forget you?
I'll see you at the end of the road
I'll see you at the end of the road
If that's what destiny wants
The farewell has come, against our will
We have to say goodbye
