Nelly

It was one of those nights
That the heart doesn’t expect
Lights shining on me
A night of applause after the song

But suddenly, in the place
I discovered her sweet image
Like a gift from heaven just for me

I ordered a cognac, raised my glass
To toast to the occasion
With my eyes, I kissed her
While my heart was dreaming

How lovely she is! And she was there
Like a decoration to my performance
Like the flame that ignited our passion

Nelly is her name
And she put dreams on my skin
She put stars in my dawn

Nelly is her name
And it’s easy to be true to her
Because she carries
In her purity, my customs
And, in her beauty, my song

Since that night
Every night is not just another night
The heart is celebrating
My sorrows have been left behind

That night, old dreams
Awoke to reality
When I met her, I found happiness

I ordered a cognac, raised my glass
To toast to the occasion
With my eyes, I kissed her
While my heart was dreaming

How lovely she is! And she was there
Like a decoration to my performance
Like the flame that ignited our passion

Nelly is her name
And she put dreams on my skin
She put stars in my dawn

Nelly is her name
And it’s easy to be true to her
Because she carries
In her purity, my customs
And, in her beauty, my song
