Love Story
HelenaMaria Lyrics

We were both young when I first saw you.
I met you when we were both young and inexperienced.

I close my eyes and the flashback starts: I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
I often remember our first encounter on a summer night, when we stood on a balcony.

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
I recall seeing lights, festivities, and ball gowns on that night.

See you make your way through the crowd And say, "Hello, " Little did I know...
I saw you walk towards me through the crowds and greet me, but I had no idea who you really were.

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet" And I was crying on the staircase Begging you, "Please don't go" And I said...
I found out that your name was Romeo, and my father forbade me from seeing you. I was heartbroken and pleaded with you to stay, crying on the staircase.

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'"
I asked Romeo to take me away somewhere, where we can be alone without any interferences. I said we could play the roles of prince and princess in our love story, and pleaded with him to say yes.

So I sneak out to the garden to see you. We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
To meet you, I had to sneak out in the garden, and we had to stay quiet due to the fear of getting caught. We closed our eyes to forget our surroundings and escape the town for a moment.

'Cause you were Romeo – I was a scarlet letter, And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet." But you were everything to me, I was begging you, "Please don't go." And I said...
Although my father warned me to stay away from you as if I were a tainted woman, you were everything to me, and I begged you not to leave

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'
Again, I asked Romeo to take me somewhere, where we can be alone; I was waiting for him to say yes to our love story.

Romeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel. This love is difficult but it's real. Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess. It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'"
I asked Romeo for his help, as others were trying to dictate my emotions. Our love is hard to handle but genuine. We will get through this hard time together, and I asked him to say yes.

I got tired of waiting Wondering if you were ever coming around. My faith in you was fading When I met you on the outskirts of town. And I said...
I had grown tired of waiting and thought you would never show up. My faith in you was dwindling, but you appeared on the outskirts of town, and I spoke.

"Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone. I keep waiting for you but you never come. Is this in my head? I don't know what to think." He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
I was feeling alone and abandoned, and I thought I may have imagined the love I had for him. Romeo then got on one knee and presented me with a ring.

"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone. I love you, and that's all I really know. I talked to your dad – go pick out a white dress It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'
Romeo asked me to marry him, promising me that I'll never be alone. He said the only thing he knew for sure was his love for me. He already talked to my dad, and he asked me to go find a white dress. He then asked me to say yes.

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you...
We were both young when we met, and we grew up in a timeless love story.
