I say to you: I know you from before
I've seen those wandering eyes.
I know you from before
Give me a second, please, beautiful.
I say to you: I know you from before
I've seen those wandering eyes
I know you from before
Perhaps from a time which
My memory does not reach
Perhaps from a time when
Nothing had lived
Perhaps from a time when
Language hadn't been spoken
Perhaps not even time existed.
I know you from before
And this leads me to think of you
I know you from before
How, when and where it was
I need to know to understand
You may be a lady from my dreams
Or a revelation I do not understand -- no,
Tell me if you know
I expect nothing to change, beautiful -- no,
I am just trying to understand
Because to see you I lose my footing
My tongue is heavy in speech
I tremble and sweat nonstop
I believe that your elements,
all mixed up in me, could explode
I know you from before
I've seen those wandering eyes
I know you from before
And it is not from passing each other in the street
I know you from before
And this leads me to think of you
I know you ...
I do not need to look at you to feel
The sparks that are born from your being
Your colors paint my song
And my guitar becomes you
I stroke your hair
Trying random chords
And you give such sweet notes
which inspire me to sing
I know you from before
I've seen those wandering eyes
I know you from before
And it is not from passing each other in the street
I know you from before
And there's no excuse to sing to you
I know you from before
Do not think I'm trying to conquer you today
I've seen those wandering eyes before
I know you ...
From before, from before, I know you from before
From before ...
