It seems that life is in front of us
That youth is the virtue
And love will drive you crazy
We only get one and I lost it
At the bottom of the hourglass of time
You haven't come or I've drunk too much
Yes my heart has fought too much
Take me back
That it's far away the time of love affairs
The time of hearts that clutch each other
Yeah of girls that you hold
Hard against yourself
At the rising of the dawn
When we loved each other like hopscotch
Mates forever
When and when you will return
We will all leave each other one fine day
We'll come back to our speech
We'll believe that we've understood everything
We won't have understood anything at all
We will be provincial kings
We will be poor and penniless
Since with friends of before
We grasped death or beauty
We'll say never get old
Then we'll all end up old farts
Regretting what we lost
Those we've loved aren't coming back
When we had bodies of gods
When we knew how to cheat death
When we the finger to him up high
Truly profound
The time of high school dances
The time of dreams, of friendships
The time when we loved each other no matter what
The time of letters under the door
The time of girls in cars*
The time of walls and liquor
The time of razors on wrists
The time of our love games
The time where it's beautiful and that's all
The time of the fire always burning
The time when every girl is a port
The time of gods, of devils in the flesh
The time where you're afraid of nothing
The time when nothing is impossible
The time when you love your friends
The blow of slingshots along the road
Aeroplanes passing above us
The faces we've met, that we've lost
The people we loved then who we no longer love
The eyes that dry in the passing time
Friends we left behind
Life loses its mysteries
The evidence which tears apart and kills you
And the beauty of the girls when they are naked
Blood ties that the heart holds to us
The cross we bear and the heat
From you my brothers holding hope
At arms length my glory days
The perfumes we recognise more
The girls we never saw again
The holidays and high school dances
The ones who we never spoke to
Yeah everything that life has taken away
The muscle that doesn't stop bleeding
The things we can't redo
Everything that we'll have left behind
The dust and then the rubies
And friends in the depth of nights
In girls bosoms yeah you forget everything
The hemorrhage of our melacholies
Someday soon facing death
The memory will come back to me
All these things I've forgotten
Yeah so it's you that I loved
You know always facing death
The memories are coming back to us
Those we danced with
Holidays and high school dances
Those we danced with
The holidays^
The holidays
