Title: Realization Lyrics: There will come a time when you realize How young you were, how heavily you drank With an astonished tone, you'll ask "Was that me?" And during sleepless, bitter nights You'll remember the love of your youth And with a now meaningful gaze towards others Perhaps, you'll be able to perceive yourself You'll see how, like a tit bird (sparrow), You spread your wings at times And how, as if a flame ignited, With your teenage dream You'll remember how you enclosed yourself Surrendering to the will of fate And how easily you opened up Finding your happiness only in her Finding your happiness only in her Only in her!
