Celeste nostalgia [English translation]

You were right, baby

Life never lasts just one night

The duration of a folly

Is short and runs away

And then…

What is left inside us?

This heavenly nostalgia,

This knowing since ever that

You are still mine…

A profound love doesn’t take offence,

It fades, if it’s the case, and then it rekindles

Let it be a violent passion

Understand me, my friend

You can.

Everything is okay between us

Dear, heavenly nostalgia

Sweet partner of love stories

Always mine, always mine…

Seeing you a moment on a train

Leaving on another one and going away

A flash in our eyes, «Bye»

Ok, it hurts, «Bye»

But you…

Inside me you will never die

Blue, heavenly nostalgia

A few loving words are rather little

But not for us, perhaps.

My great love, my girlfriend

Dear, heavenly nostalgia

One hour, one day, one life…

What's the deal? You’re still mine.

My great love, my girlfriend

Dear, heavenly nostalgia

One hour, one day, one life…

What's the deal?
