Lume [English translation]

It was thus, as usual

You came and asked me for a light*

On the counter of the bar

I said no, at first,

Then, I bought a lighter

And I even started smoking again

The nights we have spent

How many cigarettes we have smoked

So much light I have given you

One day I woke up cold

I had the ashtray empty

And I never found you again

But yesterday, at that bar

Suddenly, I saw you coming in

You went straight to the counter

Just like you used to

You asked me for a light

But I said no.

Because when you left,

I threw the lighter away,

So what light can I give you?

Ask another man to help you,

Because for the sake of my health,

I have already given up smoking.

Sleepless, deep in the night,

I heard your footsteps in the stairs

I saw from the the window, your car.

Under the pillow,

You found my lighter,

And you lighted my cigarette.
