(Verse 1)
My life without you was just darkness,
My path led to the abyss, step by step.
My life had no meaning, believe me,
I have never loved anyone, believe me.
I didn't trust people, their empty words,
I wandered alone through these gray days.
I lived among the snow and ice, my friend,
Around me, only the cold closed its circle.

(Verse 2)
I hovered in the land of my fantasies,
Losing myself in the midst of life's occasions,
I searched for my star in the night's silence,
You became my little star, a light for my soul.

(Chorus)
How late I met you...
How late I met you...
How did we live without each other then?
Now we don't know, and we don't need to know,
As long as your lamp shines for us.

(Verse 3)
You taught me to look at the light,
To find the one true answer in the simple things.
Now the dawn doesn't seem like a prison,
And my heart beats because you are with me.
Your smile is like a beacon in the night,
It dispelled all fears, though you can scream.
I remember every year I lived,
How ice bound the sunrise in my soul.

(Verse 4)
But your arrival, like the first ray of spring,
Destroyed the walls of a century-old winter,
And in your voice, I heard,
What I was looking for, what I lived for, loving you.

(Chorus)
How late I met you...
How late I met you...
How did we live without each other then?
Now we don't know, and we don't need to know,
As long as your lamp shines for us.

(Bridge)
Standing on the edge of the abyss, I awaited the end,
You gave me a piece of life at the porch
Of my destiny, and at the end of my days, when
The cold wind blew in my face like a misfortune.
You warmed me and gave me hope again,
Dispelling the darkness, awakening love.
I can't live a day without you,
I will die without you, you are my life.
I love you so much, my dear,
I will go with you through fire and water,
To hell or to paradise, wherever it may take me,
I will follow you in spite of all misfortunes.

(Chorus)
How late I met you...
How late I met you...
How did we live without each other then?
Now we don't know, and we don't need to know,
As long as your lamp shines for us.

(Outro)
You are here...
