[English]
If you want to
You are the destination of a long journey
The perfection of the best way
In quiet moments softly
The frothy crown of the wave of enthusiasm
Uphill, my drive and momentum
I just wanted to tell you
That you are the greatest for me
And to make sure if you feel the same for me
Feel the same for me
If you want to
You are my chill-out area
My holidays every year
My candy section in the supermarket
The solution when something gets stuck
So valuable that you like to save it
And so beautiful that you never want to do without it
I just wanted to tell you
That you are the greatest for me
And to make sure if you feel the same for me
Feel the same for me
...
I just wanted to tell you
That you are the greatest for me
And to make sure if you feel the same for me
Feel the same for me
...
