Bombera Mali (When You Say I Love You)

You look so afraid
I know that charade
Save your tears for the sea
Paint waves over me
When you say «I love you» I can’t believe you
Though it feels good just to hear those words
No, it’s something else you’re really touching
Not me, not me, not me
Words cold to the touch
Poets, they don’t mean much
You say you live what you believe, you believe
But when you speak, you deceive
Though we’ve tried a thousand times to make it work
And it ain’t worth another try
Seems it’s always «hello, hello»
Then «goodbye, goodbye»
Always goodbye, goodbye
When you say «I love you» I can’t believe you
Though it feels good just to hear those words
No, it’s something else you’re really touching
Not me, not me, not me
