ATLANTIS

Lyrics: Nautilus Pompilius
Translated by: Tango

I will know you by our secret sign
You will know me by the ring on my finger
Our memory keeps long-forgotten songs
We know all the steps to primeval dances

Years have passed since I last heard this language so ancient
These whispers of love no one else understands
For a single night in our immortality endless
You and I will go back, back to our Atlantis

Somewhere under the sea sleeps our ancestral city
In primordial silence it keeps all our secrets
We loved one another -- that is why we were saved
I don't like to think it was only coincidence

Come grey dawn, you and I, carried on by our fate
Will become once again lonely wandering strangers
And no one will know what had brought us together
These secret signs, these rings on our fingers

But as long as this night lasts, I still want to hear
This forgotten language no one else understands
I have waited these long ten thousand years
To go back with you, back to our Atlantis

I will know you by our secret sign
You will know me by the ring on my finger
Our memory keeps forgotten songs
We know all the steps to primeval dances.
