Translation

Beginning of everything

You are the beginning of everything1, the start of everything,

a love that came for the first time while my heart was still innocent

You are the beginning of everything and you know what you was2

And you are the first one to leave causing my tears to shed after

You was the beginning of all of what is happening to me

You was the first soul to touch me deeply inside

You was the first love to come and make me wish for it to last forever

You was the first joy that I wished to be completed3

You was the first one to whom I draw silhouette

You was the best one, with whom I could know who really am I[Literally: know my value

You was the soul to me, was tomorrow,

was my whole life. but I was a period4 to you

Who knows from the start where the end would be

never chooses wrong. But how can we do that?

It was the last time for me to trust, on whom may I trust5

I don't think that I will love again. It's hard to make the same mistake twice

1. Means: you started that all
2. what you meant to me
3. To complete joy:
sometimes we use this expression figuratively referring to marriage.
which is acceptable here (but not necessarily)
4. a casual relation, an affair
5. Trust and trust on can be replaced with believe and believe in

Author's comments:

To put you in the mood:
Singer here sings with bitterness (and with regret in the last lines) about feelings that he felt for the first times with her, sweet feelings in the beginning and sore ones at the end. And the how did this experience wounded him and turned him into another man.
