Whenever you're away
My eyes never sleep for a moment 1
Whenever you're away
I lose all my words, my love
(x2)
Your absence is felt 2
You have my mind occupied
I am counting the days, all by myself
Just close your eyes my love
and you will know the meaning of tenderness3
I love you and I love your madness
And there's a special place for you in my heart
My (sleepless) nights will tell you
about my longing and passion
I will give you from my heart 4
and send you my best regards
You are the one who has hurt my heart
My heart and thought are in a living hell
The first night you're away
I wonder what's become of you 5
My heart is longing for you, and my longing (my love) is asking about you
day and night 6
1. I never sleep2. it says is lost, doesn't make a lot of sense3. 7anan is more like comfort, or
compassion, or what's sometimes locally considered the woman's version of
love: taking care of her beloved4. I will send you some of my love5. I keep worrying about you, even right after
you've left6. I always long for you
