Amor Fugaz

Yesterday
we said goodbye
and what we had is over
like a flash of light
that the shadow snuffed out

I’m not gonna cry
or beg you to stay
'cause I know we’ll never
be able to love each other

Our love was fleeting
that’s what I think
that now that the story’s over
it couldn’t be avoided

'Cause neither you nor I
could understand each other
why fool ourselves
if that’s the truth

Yesterday we said goodbye
and I can’t understand
when a woman
denied me her love

It’s all been a mistake
what can we do
if it’s for the best
not to see each other again

Our love was fleeting
that’s what I think
that now that the story’s over
it couldn’t be avoided

'Cause neither you nor I
could understand each other
why fool ourselves
if that’s the truth
