Ruslan Alehno - Hasta La Vista

Lyrics:

You shone at me like a blinding star.

I’ve just never seen such a light so far.

All my days Were fairy tales.

I begged you to look in my loving eyes

But you were as cold as Arctic ice,

And your laughHas killed my love.

The story is close to the final cut,

It won’t be the end but a running start.

So don’t be upset and don’t ask me whyI say goodbye.

Hasta la vista, baby!

I gonna miss you – may be

You can be blissfully happy

Though it’s not fair.
