The distance

I remember that our speech
Was interrupted by a siren
That came from distance, but who knows from where?
 
I was afraid because
Everytime I hear that sound
I think of something bad
 
And I didn't realize that for me and for you
There wouldn't be anything worse
Than our separation
So as now
 
We looked at each other
We would've wanted to stay there, hugging each other, instead
With a smile I went with you along the lonely path
I kissed you as usual, and tenderly I said ...
 
"The distance, you know, is like the wind,
Puts out the little fire
But makes bigger the big ones... the big ones."
 
The distance, you know is like the wind
That makes one forget who one doesn't love
It's been already one year and there's a fire
That burns the soul
 
Now that there's been such a long time
I'd give my life to have you near
To see you again for even a single moment
To say to you "forgive me."
I didn't understand a thing of the good you did to me
And I threw away meaningless
The only true thing in my life
Your love for me
 
Bye, love
Bye, don't cry
You'll see I'll come back
Promise, I'll come back
I swear, love, I'll come back
'Cause I love you
I love you
I'll come back
Bye, love
Bye
I love you
