I would have preferred for you
To just reverse the flow of things
I would have liked, and you
An outstretched hand, a rose
I would have liked from you
The certainty of a gesture
Simply when it’s not good
Not to flee like the plague (expression: not to distance oneself as one does from a sick person)
They were confused
To see that we still kept it
And we, the first ones surprised
To harvest what we sow
How much we love each other
I would have really preferred
To avoid our dark insanity
And many many times
To forget to go on vacation
On vacation from you
And how friendship makes up for us
Makes up for us each time
To so hold when it slips
They were confused
To see that we still kept it
And we, the first ones surprised
To harvest what we sow
How much we love each other
How much we love each other
I would have really wanted, you know
To keep the course, to save the walls (expression: to save the essential)
To run without stopping myself
Not to shiver under the armor
And I would have wanted, you know
The long quiet crossing
I would have even imagined
Never to reach a shore
They were confused
To see that we still kept it
And we, the first ones surprised
To harvest what we sow
How much we love each other
How much we love each other
I would have liked, you know
To avoid our false moderation
I would have even preferred
A letter of insults from us
I would have wanted perhaps
Yes, to strangle you in four winds (expression: in all directions)
To squeeze you in my arms
That I have often wanted
They were confused
To see that we still kept it
And we, the first ones surprised
To harvest what we sow
They were confused
To see that we still kept it
And we, the first ones surprised
To harvest what we sow
How much we love each other
How much we love each other
How much we love each other
How much we love each other
