OPA!

OPA! OPA!

I burnt the past, my old nights
Memories also became shivers
Memories and voices, unjust wishes
And left open wounds in a corner

I burnt the past, my old nights
Dreams and nightmares I threw into flames
Hot tears, too many lies
Seems like a silent movie that I’m not watching any more

OPA!
I set on fire (Hey!)
All past events (Hey!)
I’ll change everything (OPA!), and I will cry out (OPA!)
What’s past is forgotten and everything is starting over

I set on fire (Hey!)
All past events (Hey!)
I’ll change everything (OPA!), and I will cry out (OPA!)
What’s past is forgotten and everything is starting over

I burnt the past, my old nights
And I start from scratch even if you don’t want me to
Hot tears, too many lies
I paid what I owed and borrowed

OPA!
I set on fire (Hey!)
All past events (Hey!)
I’ll change everything (OPA!), and I will cry out (OPA!)
What’s past is forgotten and everything is starting over

Everybody say (OPA!)

I set on fire (Hey!)
All past events (Hey!)
I’ll change everything (OPA!), and I will cry out (OPA!)
What’s past is forgotten and everything is starting over

I set on fire (Hey!)
All past events (Hey!)
I’ll change everything (OPA!), and I will cry out (OPA!)
What’s past is forgotten and everything is starting over

OPA!
