She lived in the pretty neighborhoods
_____
There, where the wisteria slid
_____
Along deserted lanes lined with villas
_____
The city was empty and it was summer
_____
Or to the cafés, I loved her I think, you see
And we went back in the evening
_____
Before our addresses pulled us apart
_____
She lived up there, oho
_____
There, where everything was beautiful, oho
_____
I loved her like you love at 15
_____
That is, really fast, madly
_____
She lived up there, oho
_____
I didn't know that summer
_____
For her, I was only the one from below
_____
Autumn came with the start of school
_____
I had made her a bracelet woven with my fingers
_____
I brought it to her, dreaming in the lane
_____
But there, behind the wisteria
_____
It was indeed her voice talking, laughing at me
_____
My new pants, my nicest sweater
_____
She lived up there, oho
_____
There, where everything was beautiful, oho
_____
I loved her like you love at 15
_____
That is, really fast, madly
_____
She lived up there, oho
_____
I didn't know that summer
_____
For her, I was only the one from below
_____
She still lives up there, oho
_____
There, where people are beautiful, oho
_____
And somewhere, I keep inside me
_____
The idea of being the one from below
_____
She lived up there, oho
_____
In marker, written on my heart
