Nicolas

It's nothing but a song that comes back sometimes
Just a smile, in memory of a boy from the past
When my days are gray
And snow falls on my life, he comes back to my mind
At the French high school one evening he was waiting for me
He was smiling, Nicolas

Nicolas, Nicolas, my first tear was only for you
We were children, our pain was worth as much as the adults'
Nicolas, Nicolas, it was love, we didn't know it
It's life that takes us
Takes us where it wants and where it goes
A man-child, with eyes too big, on a platform, crying
It has snowed a lot since then, over there, over Paris
And he knows nothing about me and my life
What I do, who I am
He doesn't know the other Maritza, he keeps the truth over there

Nicolas, Nicolas, my first heartbreak is named after you
I knew that I would never come back here to be with you
Nicolas, Nicolas, it was love, we didn't know it
It's time that goes by
Inventing all our sorrows and joys
Nicolas, Nicolas, my first tear was only for you
We were children, our pain was worth as much as the adults'
Nicolas, Nicolas, it was love, we didn't know it
It's life that takes us
Takes us where it wants and where it goes
Nicolas, Nicolas...
