If Noé won't get hurt
anymore because of me...
...إذا كان نوي لن يتأذّى بعد الآن بسببي
Solange Noé dann nie mehr
meinetwegen leiden muss …
Si Noé no se lastimara más por mí…
Si así Noé deja de sufrir por mi culpa…
Se così facendo, 
Noé non dovrà più soffrire per colpa mia...
Se Noé não se machucar mais
por minha causa...
