Seamisai [English translation]

Don’t say no,

I know you and I know what you’re thinking

Don’t tell me “no”

And it’s been a while

Since I’ve heard you talk about love

Using the time and the future for us

And there’s no use telling me again that you love me

Because now your morning smile for me is not there

Because you no longer give me any part of yourself.

If you love me you know when it’s all over

If you love me you know it like a cold shiver

Like in a film with scenes already viewed

That pass by, oh no!

You always know when a story is ending

And you can no longer invent an excuse

If you love me take my hands

Because before tomorrow

It will have ended.

And you can’t

Close your eyes and act as if nothing happened

Like you do when you’re with me

And I don’t have the courage to say

What is there (between us)?

You’ll be within me

Like a winter’s night, because

From now on I will be without you

If you love me you know when it’s all over

If you love me you know, like a cold shiver

Like in a film with scenes already viewed

That pass by, oh no!

You know well when the pain begins

And the end to the love story arrives

If you love me take my hands

Because before tomorrow

You’ll be gone

You won’t be here with me.
