Future Dreams/ Zukunftsträume/ Somnis De Futur (Catalán)/Sogni Futuri (Italian) Sentanka

Your future dreams
Empty paper in your hands
Disguised as desire

Your words written in silence
Until the last sunlight vanishes

--------------------------------------


Deine Zukunftsträume
Leeres Papier in deinen Händen
Als Wunsch verkleidet

Deine Worte in Stille geschrieben
Bis das letzte Sonnenlicht verlöscht

---------------------------------------


Seus somnis per al futur
Blanc de paper a les seves mans
Disfressat com un anhel

Les teves paraules escrites en silenci
Fins a la llum del sol extingit

------------------------------------------

I tui sogni per il futuro
Foglio bianco nelle tui mani
Travestito da un desiderio

Le tue parole scritte nel silensio
Fino al quando il sole si spegne ultimo


Note: The Catalán version is for Ruben and the Italian one for Lisa-Marie and Charma
