My friend—
when you come back home
and you see my girlfriend,
you have to tell her all the things
that I feel inside my heart.
Tell her that now
I see no one but her—
that I would die
if she didn't know that
in little time
I will return and, for us,
that will be a time of happiness.
Tell her that
she must wait for me—
I will come back
if she will wait for me.
You who know—
you have to tell her that
when I see another woman, I think only of her.
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh.
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh.
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh.
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh.
But if you see
that she is not thinking of me—
if she laughs
at what you tell her—
if you see
that there is someone else who
now has taken my place in her heart.
Now please,
when you come back,
say nothing—
I will understand, you know—
say nothing—
never tell me anything—
on the bar, there will be two glasses for us.
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh.
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh.
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh.
Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh.
But if you see
that she is not thinking of me—
if she laughs
at what you tell her—
if you see
that there is someone else who
now has taken my place in her heart.
Now please,
when you come back ...
