Lyrics
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
My chérie amour
Così lontana, come stai?
My chérie amour
Il tempo qui non passa mai
Sono solo qui
A vivere per aspettare te
A credere di non amare più
La vita, se non ci sei tu
My chérie amour
Il cuore non mi regge più
My chérie amour
Se penso quando arrivi tu
My chérie amour
Un giorno o l’altro tu ritornerai
Per questo sono qui, t’aspetterò
Con quanta forza avrò
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
My chérie amour
Così lontana, come stai?
My chérie amour
Il tempo qui non passa mai
Sono solo qui
A vivere per aspettare te
A credere di non amare più
La vita, se non ci sei tu
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
