Lyrics & Translation

[English]

-Hello! -Can you hear me?

-If anybody's listening,

my dreams are...

-To write a book. -To be a dancer one day.

-To open a café with my best friend.

-I would like to be debt-free.

-To go back to school to get a degree in psychology.

-My dream is to be a pro boxer.

-My dream is to travel the world!

-To get a better job!

I mean, I love my job,

don't get me wrong, but I need way more money.

-My dream is to be happy with what I'm doing.

I don't know what I want to do.

I just want to be happy doing it.

-I want to go back and find the lost love of my life,

a girl named Valerie.

-My dream is to be a good father.

My girl, she's gonna be born September 2nd.

That's the approximate date.

-I met her in Las Vegas.

Not a very romantic place.

From the minute I met her,

I knew she was the love of my life.

-For four generations of my line,

my great-grandfather left his children,

my grandpa left his children,

my dad left his -- his daughter.

I want to be the one to break that cycle,

'cause I want to be there for her.

-I'm gonna have to go find her.

-When I was 16, I started dancing.

I saw a dance company, and about three months ago,

I auditioned for that dance company,

and now I'm living my dream,

dancing for Diavolo Dance Theatre.

-I'm the oldest from my family,

and I want to teach my brothers --

I want to be their role model.

-I want to be a more heroic person

and stand up for what I believe in.

-I want to fly!

-I want to be an artist.

I don't really show my feelings to other people,

and through art, I can show them clearly.

-The best part about achieving your dream

is living in that moment when you believe in yourself.

And now I believe in me.

-Valerie, I'm gonna find you.

-My café is gonna rock!

-It's gonna happen!

Oooh.

-Whoo!
