Seamisai [English translation]

Don't say “no”. I know you and I know

What you think.

Don't say “no”.

It's been some time now that I don't hear you talking about love

Neither about our future

And you don't have to repeat any more that you love me.

Because there is not your smile for me any more in the morning,

Because you don't give me anything any more.

If you love, you know when all will be over.

If you love, you know a sad shudder,

Like in a film with already viewed scenes

Which goes away. Oh, no!

You always know when a story gets closed

And it's impossible to make up an excuse.

If you love, take my hands

Because before tomorrow comes

It will be over.

And it's impossible

To close eyes and pretend

Like you do when you stay with me

And you don't find a courage to tell me what it is.

A winter night will be inside of me

Because from today I will be without you.

If you love, you know when all will be over.

If you love, you know a sad shudder,

Like in a film with already viewed scenes

Which goes away. Oh, no!

You know well when the pain begins

And a love story comes to an end.

But if you love, take my hands

Because before tomorrow comes

You will leave, you will be not

Here with me...
