[English]

Ooh

Ooh

I'll dive in deeper, deeper for you

Down to the bottom, 10,000 emerald pools

Down to the bottom, 10,000 emerald pools

Under water

Time is standing still

You're the treasure

Dive down deeper, still

All I need is you

You're all I need to breathe

All I need is you

I'll make a living, trying to get away

10,000 fathoms, under a tidal wave

It can never pull me away

No way

Under water

Time is standing still

You're the treasure

Dive down deeper, still

All I need is you

You're all I need to breathe

All I need is you

You're all I need to breathe

Down to the bottom

10,000 emerald pools (you're all I need to breathe)

I'll dive in deeper (ooh), deeper for you (you're all I need to breathe)

All I need is you

All I need is you

It can never pull me away

Time is standing still (no way)

Dive down deeper, still

All I need is you

You're all I need to breathe

All I need is you

...
