I can still picture the town, festive and delirious
Suffocating under the sun and from the joy
And along with the music I hear the shouts and laughs
Bursting and bouncing all around me
And lost among the people pushing me around
Dazed and helpless, I stand still
When suddenly I turn around, he steps back
And the crowd throws me right into his arms
Taken away by the crowd that drags us and sweeps us along
Pressed against each other
We are but one body
And the flow effortlessly pushes us, chained together
And leaves us both
Radiant, beaming, and happy
Swept away by the crowd that moves and dances
A frenzied farandole, our two hands stay binded
And as we are lifted up, our entwined bodies take off the ground
And fall back together
Radiant, beaming, and happy
And the joy fired up by his smile
Runs through me and wells up again in my heart
But suddenly I let out a scream among the laughter
As the crowd tears him from my arms
Carried away by the crowd that drags us and sweeps us along,
Taking us further apart from each other
I fight, I put up a struggle
But the sound of his voice is drowned by the people's laughter
And I scream in pain, in fury and in rage, and I weep
Swept away by the crowd that moves and dances
A frenzied farandole, I'm taken further and further away
And I clench my fists, cursing the crowd that robs me
Of the man it had given me
And that I never found again
