I don't know what it means to be conscious
I've always been drunk in the longing of you
That I forgot who I was, I forgot who I am
I don't resemble myself being a being when I'm...
I'm full of you and there's no room for me

I don't remember what life was before our encounter
All I remember is that I love our encounter
And I hope it lasted a little longer
Just a little longer so I could remember
I could remember it better and be drunk all day
In this feeling of longing, longing for you

For someone I could not have but still hope
And I believe, that somewhere, somehow we'll meet
Maybe not as strangers but as lovers
Although I do not expect anything from you
I still hope for a chance to be with you

And now I really don't know what is consciousness
For as long as I remember
I've been drunk in your longing
I'm full of your thoughts and there's no me
It's you, It has always been you
