Testemente D'Amelia
Blue System Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a dream - it was so though
An endless street - a restless love
She walked alone on the lonely road
That's the story old friend told me
She was seventeen
She walked through the midnight rain
Captured by a burning flame
A car crashed - can't you see
That's a minute passed to eternity
She was seventeen - baby can't you see
She was seventeen

Oh we're crying out el testamente d'amelia
'cause she's dying much too young...........
Let us pray
Oh, we're crying out el testamente d'amelia
'cause she's dying in the sun...............
Let us pray

She said to me it's time to go
Her blood was running through the snow
Got a date in paradise - I saw the tears in her eyes
You see - she was seventeen
Oh, every time her life been down
Heard a voice - oh, on the ground
Dead was just a breath away




Oh, I heard when she said to me: I'm seventeen
Oh she said to me: I was seventeen
