(unofficial english version)
IF THERE’S A TIME TO LEAVE
I GUESS IT HAS ARRIVED
IN THE MEANWHILE

IDEALISM IS LIKE YOUNGISH ACNE
THAT DISAPPEARS WITH AGE
THIS IS THE MOMENT OF
REFLECTIONS AND I HOPED
THAT AT LEAST YOU
WOULD UNDERSTAND ME

THE ANXIOUS FOALS OF MY TWENTY
YEARS RAN UNTIL THE VERY LAST SWEAT
THEY WON THE DISTANCES TO YOUR HEART
BUT I WOULDN’T KNOW WEATHER
THEY LOST ONE OR OTHER FRIEND
ONE THINKS TO BE ABLE TO
CHANGE LIFE BUT AT THE END
IT’S LIFE THAT CHANGES YOU
FOLLOW ME BECAUSE...

THINGS THAT MOVE ON CHANGE
THEY ENCOUNTER NEW YEARS
TOWARDS NEW REALITIES

I ASK YOU FOR LOVE TILL THE END
BECAUSE I NEED OF IT RIGHT NOW
LIKE I NEVER HAD BEFORE

CERTAIN TIMES THE DOUBT IS
LIKE A MOUNTAIN THAT RESENDS
THE THOUGHTS’ ECHO AND THAT
SUBSEQUENTLY NAILS DOWN ITS
FEAR AT THE HEELS AND THAT
FORCES YOU TO MAKE STEPS
YOU DON’T WANT TO MAKE
THIS IS THE MOMENT OF THE
DECISIONS AND I WANT TO
MISTAKE THE LEAST POSSIBLE
FOLLOW ME THEREFORE

THINGS ALSO CHANGE AROUND ME
AND I CANNOT STAY STILL
WHILE TIME IS GOING AWAY

I ASK YOU FOR LOVE TILL THE END
BECAUSE I NEED OF IT RIGHT NOW
LIKE I NEVER HAD BEFORE

BEING A MAN IS A MATTER OF
EXPERIENCE AND YOUR SILENT
PRESENCE PUTS TO FLIGHT THE
MONSTERS OF MY YOUTH AND
TONIGHT IT SUFFICES LIKE THIS

IF THERE’S A TIME TO LEAVE
I GUESS IT HAS ARRIVED
IN FRONT OF US

FOLLOW ME IF YOU WANT
FOLLOW ME... FOLLOW ME...
DON’T LEAVE ME
DON’T ABANDON ME EVER
FOLLOW ME... FOLLOW ME...
LIKE I FOLLOW YOU
WITH EVERY GLANCE
