You never imagined life that by loving you But when it speeds up
I expected the long-awaited response from you It looks like a snake
that we would unite for the sake of God
Now I'm going to the countryside
Great was the betrayal that you did to love And I will not return from there
in the arms of another you left Because there is nothing richer
leaving the flower that I gave you withered What to love and drink coffee
you forgot the promise
to always love only me
