What's the point of love?

We always tell

crazy stories

What's the use of loving?

Love cannot be explained!

It's a thing like that

Who comes from who knows where

And suddenly takes you

Me, I heard

That love hurts

That love makes you cry

What's the use of loving?

What is love for?

To give us joy

With tears in your eyes?

It's sad and wonderful!

Yet we often say

That love is disappointing

That there is one out of two

Who is never happy?

Even when we lost it

The love we once knew

Leaves you with a taste of honey

Love is eternal!

All this is very pretty

But when it's all over

That you have nothing left

What an immense sorrow

All that now

You seem heartbreaking

Tomorrow will be for you

A memory of joy!

In short, if I understood

Without love in life

Without its joys, its sorrows

We lived for nothing

But yes! Look at me!

Every time I believe

And I will still believe it?

That's what it's for, love!

But you are the last

But you are the first!

Before you, there was nothing

With you I am fine!

It's you I wanted

It was you I needed!

You whom I will always love?

That's what it's for, love!
