I was crazy about you, ready for all kinds of craziness, ready to do anything
I remember those few steps that you taught me
To waltz under the limelight 1 my love
I remember the fairy lights and the orchestra
And the others laughing, we turned, clumsily
But the night belonged to us
And then you said to me
Let’s leave them to drink to our love that cries out
Damn
I was so alive
I was so alive
I was so alive
And I kissed your fingers
And I kissed your eyes
I was crazy about you, I did not need to lose anymore
You took me by the sleeve and in that little street
We were on fire, close to each other
Damn
I was so alive
I was so alive
I was so alive
I remember our last word, the most unforgettable
And your lips that shone in the evening
And then we rejoined the others, in the laughter, the happiness and the wine
You came over from time to time, delicious, to take my lips
My God I was so handsome
Damn
I was so alive
I was so alive
I was so alive
I was crazy about you, ready for all kinds of craziness, ready to do anything
I remember those few steps that you taught me
My God, I was so handsome
