Opium [English translation]

Separated from you, my eyes start getting lost.

Life is hell when you make such an impression on me.

My friends told me a hundred times I must have a fever,

a warmth I had never known before.

You're my opium, the only one who makes me alive,

when you barge in on my lips.

I am on opium, my senses are on a remission,

clinging to a dose of dream.

You're my opium

You got to my head, how can I face it.

You're my opium,

and yet you didn't go up in smoke.

You're my opium.

I have overslept. You're no longer here when I call.

I would like you to come back, and besides

go back in time. My amnesia is waking up.

We know each other. Where are you from? You know me that well?1

I am on opium when I flle the fire.

Your skin blows on the embers.

I am under water like a man who understood

that all desires eventually go quiet.

You're my opium

You got to my head, how can I face it.

You're my opium,

and yet you didn't go up in smoke.

You're my opium.

I am on opium, my senses are on a remission,

clinging to a dose of dream.

You're my opium

You got to my head, how can I face it.

You're my opium,

and yet you didn't go up in smoke.

You're my opium.
