Asia Occidente [English translation]

Seeing you from the balcony hurts so bad, I know

But bear in mind that

I never swore I'll be back someday

You have the bad habit of talking us down, me down

You said you'd rather have had iced Campari for tea

Rescue me from fashion, trends are gonna change

From the bitterness of life

From all the music left behind

You'll call me from down the street

When everybody else is asleep

Wanting to make the same mistake but

Now I don't look like you anymore

You'll call me from down the street

I'll pretend not to hear

As always, as if

I were Asia and you were the West

I were Asia and you were the West

I were Asia and you were the West

Seeing you for one hour hurts so bad, I know

We were dreaming of a film-like wintertime in a Berlin hotel

You think over and over of how things might have been

You standing in front of the saddest scene of an undeleted memory

Rescue yourself from the people asking you

For tobacco and money out of mercy

Start to run away from here

You'll call me from down the street

When everybody else is asleep

Wanting to make the same mistake but

Now I don't look like you anymore

You'll call me from down the street

I'll pretend not to hear

As always, as if

I were Asia and you were the West

I were Asia and you were the West

I were Asia and you were the West

I were Asia and you were the West

I were Asia and you were the West

And you were the West

Today the break of dawn is struggling

While this cigarette burns up hastily in your hands

Mind and view keep changing with time

But I think it is stupid if I ask you to stay

But I think it is stupid if I ask you to stay

You'll call me from down the street

When everybody else is asleep

Wanting to make the same mistake but

Now I don't look like you anymore

You'll call me from down the street

I'll pretend not to hear

As always, as if

I were Asia and you were the West

I were Asia and you were the West

I were Asia and you were the West

I were Asia and you were the West

And you were the West, and you were the West
