Yema [English translation]

Yema, I am so afraid that the sky move away from you

Yema, it makes my heart shake in the evening when I come back

Yema, you told me that there my days would be better

Yema, oh I miss you

Yema, I see your stare again at the window when I crossed the door

The evening where I crossed the sea to join the coast

And you, you who never ceased to pray for me

Far from my eyes but not from my heart, I will retrace my steps

Yema!

Yema, my memories come back and form knots in my throat

Yema, each day that God makes, I love you

Yema, don't forget I love you even far from you

Yema!

Yema, I knew how to fly with my wings, it is from you that I got that

Yema, like a dream that faded in the cold,

Yema, barred from you, I try to be strong

But when night comes

I live again all through all those joyous moments

This smile set on your face

The smell of jasmine on your fingers

And I tell myself that my life's best years

Have stayed behind me

I miss you, Yema

Yema, the waves crash and separate me from you

I will set the sails to tell you, to write to you

Those words in the sand

Far from my eyes but not from my heart, I will retrace my step

Far from you...
