"People, like ghosts, suddenly disappear

In the dark balconies there are distant lanterns
Well, forget what you meant to him
Swallow your tears like red apples

And while you're still alive
I'll be a sister for you
I'll breathe for you
While you're still alive
I'll be your cry, cry, cry

In dark nights and quiet evenings
I'll be there, we'll turn all the lights on
For you to see bright colors
For you to believe in your spark without him

And while you're still alive
I'll be a sister for you
I'll breathe for you
While you're still alive
I'll be your cry, cry, cry

The morning has come - get up, get up
Wrap yourself in the sun, you hear, my dear
The morning came and you came to life
You believed and loved again"

For the lost and displaced
