Resistiré [English translation]

When I’ve lost all the matches

When I sleep with lonesomeness

When all the exits close up on me

And the night won’t leave me in peace

When I’m afraid of silence

When it’s hard to stand on my own feet

When memories rebel

And pin me against the wall

(Chorus)

I will resist, upright against everything

I will become of steel

To harden my skin

And even if the winds of life

Blow hard

I’m like a reed that bends

But still stands

I will resist, to continue living

I will withstand the blows

And never give up

And even if my dreams

Shatter into pieces

I will resist, I will resist

When the world loses all magic

When my enemy is me

When painful yearning stabs me

And I don’t recognize even my own voice

When madness threatens me

When my coin lands on tails

When the devil presents me with my bill

Or if someday I no longer have you

(Chorus)
