Hello, hello, I am him, a haiduc,
You see, love, I bring you the call of happiness.
Hello, hello, I am me, Picasso,
I gave you a beep and I'm a little crazy,
But you should know, it's not anyone's fault.
[Chorus]
You want to leave, but only, only, only I
Only, only I, only, only, only I
Keep you close and the love from you,
I remember your eyes.
You want to leave, but only, only, only I
Only, only I, only, only, only I
Keep you close and the love from you,
I remember your eyes.
Slowly, slowly, take a seat, as it is,
Hello, love of mine, I am your happiness.
Hello, hello, I am me, Picasso,
I gave you a beep and I'm a little crazy,
But you should know, it's not anyone's fault.
[Chorus]
You want to leave, but only, only, only I
Only, only I, only, only, only I
Keep you close and the love from you,
I remember your eyes.
You want to leave, but only, only, only I
Only, only I, only, only, only I
Keep you close and the love from you,
I remember your eyes.
