Souvenirs of Your Smile

Woman, you were so pretty. You were so beautiful
You were so enlightened, so verdant and full of life
You were so kind. You were so wonderful
You were so tender and distant from the caterpillars.

Oh! Woman, I remember, I recall your smile
So radiant, so extraordinary and so phenomenal
Oh! Oh! Souvenirs, memories of yesterday's hours
That leave the heart thirsty for a brighter future.

Love of a yesteryear, I'm still enjoying
The young spring of my life. I'm still strong
Obviously, it's too early to think about death.

Oh! You used to be so pious, now you've lost yourself
You no longer exist for me. You left with the cloudy shadow
You live somewhere else. Now, I'm proud to be away from your shadows.
