Deaf and dumb wind
When the soul is deep in the abyss
My friend becomes lonely
What value does your love have?
He gives this simple question
In the clouds, they take your image
What are the crazy wounds?
That opened your love,
By closing myself
Wind, wind
Where did you take my warm memories?
Wind, wind
Give me wings to follow you
Wind
I close my eyes
And it seems that I see
The path that leads you
The stars were the liars
They said they were innocent
Love is the soul that looks for light
Wind, wind
Where did you take my warm memories?
Wind, wind
Give me your wings to follow you
Wind (Give me wings, give me wings)
Wind (That I'm going up)
Wind (Give me wings, give me wings)
(That I'm going up)
Wind (Give me wings, give me wings)
(That I'm going up)
Wind (Give me wings, give me wings)
(That I'm going up)
