[English]

It's just another night, and I'm staring at the moon

I saw a shooting star, and thought of you

I sang a lullaby by the waterside, and knew

If you were here, I'd sing to you

You're on the other side

As the skyline splits in two

Miles away from seeing you

I can see the stars from America

I wonder, do you see them, too?

So open your eyes and see

The way our horizons meet

And all of the lights will lead

Into the night with me

And I know these scars will bleed

But both of our hearts believe

All of these stars will guide us home

...

I can hear your heart on the radio beat

They're playing "Chasing Cars" and I thought of us

Back to the time you were lying next to me

I looked across and fell in love

And so I took your hand

Back through lamplit streets, and knew

Everything led back to you

So can you see the stars over Amsterdam?

You're the song my heart is beating to

So open your eyes and see

The way our horizons meet

And all of the lights will lead

Into the night with me

And I know these scars will bleed

But both of our hearts believe

All of these stars will guide us home

And oh

And oh

And oh

...

I can see the stars from America

...
