Pain is a sail
That's so incredibly light
You don't even feel it
It begins with the sweet
Cadence of the snow
And it's there you get lost
It's got the face of a child
And the eyes of a sad wolf
That licks your hand
It knows every word there isn't
And it teaches you them one by one
Little by little
And suddenly there you've forgotten
How nice love was
And you go around
Like an old exhausted dog
That can't smell a thing anymore
You go back home with the uniform of a soldier
That doesn't believe in honor anymore

Don't let me go, don't let me go
Don't let me go away
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Don't let me go away

The child ran behind
His paper boat
And in it he saw life
But time is timeless
The clock's confused
The compass has gone crazy
You walk in a fog
Of people and things
That used to make you dream
And you want to go away
Without proffering any excuse
For not having been able to love
When you've ran out of all the most useless excuses
To stay

Don't let me go, don't let me go
Don't let me go away
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Don't let me go away

I don't have the strength nor the will to try
And not even a reason
Be damned nonsenses, sentiments, skipped heartbeats
And whining to write songs
I'd like to look further beyond
But further is now such a
Fearfully brief time
I'd like to disappear, erase myself, not love myself
To wake up and not even know where

Don't let me go, don't let me go
Don't let me go away
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Don't let me go away
