In love each time because your word is life.
When triumph inside yourself first was low,
I was there to refuel that fire.
Anticipating your happiness is my only reward.
When triumph inside yourself first was low,
it was I who stood by you and picked you up.
Anticipating your happiness is my only reward
since that is what matters most to me.
Red like the home of Creon’s hood,
my heart bleeds hopeless affection
with the hope that the happiness I fought so hard to restore
never depletes, vanishes, or disintegrates into the wind.
For that would make me sad,
'cause I want you to be in love each time;
your word is life.
