People say music is an universal language. i hope you feel that too.
Born as the Spanish song 'La Loca' by Maria Conchita Alonso, reinvented into Chinese song by Hong Kong female singer Priscilla Chan in the late 80's. Though it's a love-lost song written from the female singer's perspective, still the melody and the lyric are so well constructed that i decided to have a go with it. i hope the foreign language of this song will not diminish your pleasure of hearing this piece of fine melody.
Below is my attempt to translate the Chinese lyric into English, i hope i can at least give you a general picture of what this song is about.
*Tonight, i am confronted once again by the air of solitude,
So i put on your woolly,
reliving the memories not long ago.
Gently, the sleeves of your woolly embrace me,
accompanying me to endure the quietness of time.
I plant a kiss on the collar,
remembering, i once said how i loved the scent of you.
I hate the thought that our love affair turns out like a sad film,
and all i can do now in order to feel you is to put on your woolly
because it will silently sit with me, to warm me
and allows me to be close to you.
So that, i can replay the forgotten character
that she was happy in a fairytale like romance
that she was with you, sharing the same dreams
that she, unlike me now, has never shed a tear
pretending that nothing has ever changed.
Acting again as some beautiful story protagonist
Acting as your lover just merely a year ago.
Still, you may not understand the reason why your woolly plays such an important role to help me to face the night alone.*
Repeat -

@angelsong Thousand thanks for your comment. If this song does sound familiar, perhaps you have heard it before in its original Spanish language.
