If you stay alone
you’ll know that you must count on yourself,
you’ll have no friend to cover your shoulders,
you’ll face a new challenge every day,
You’ll be motivated to win it,
because you don’t want to lose,
and when you'll reach the finish,
you’ll be proud of yourself.
If you stay alone,
you'll understand that life is worth
if there’s love in it
and you’ll seek it to be happy:
you’ll find it in a helpless puppy,
in the arms of a single woman,
in the clear eyes of a child.
No matter who or what you love,
what matters is to find your own way,
the journey will be better
If you've someone by your side,
and if a fire will become extinct
another one will light up:
the meaning of life is unconditional love,
there’s no limit to love,
if you want to keep on living
If you stay alone,
you’ll become stronger:
you’ll have learned to love yourself
and you'll be able to love others.
