[English]

Anti ti ti ti fragile fragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile fragile

Antifragile antifragile

Riding over the trail of thorns, you made me boost up

Party packed with lies, they don’t even burn

So much talk behind my back, rivals I never knew I had

They all pray for the day I’m falling, onto their hands, I’mma jump in

Yes gimme that

Walk like a majestic lion, eyes glinting with so much desire

Pour more out, gasoline on fire, fly again, rising through the flames

Don’t forget my pointe shoes I left behind, what more must be said

Don’t underestimate the path I’ve walked

I go to ride till I die die

I’ll climb higher, top of the world I itched for

No biggie if I were to fall, I’m antifragile antifragile

Right now I’m on my way, toss away your fairy tale

Now you know my name

I’m antifragile antifragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile fragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile fragile

Antifragile antifragile

“Lovey lovey lovey dovey dovey dovey”

Defining me however you’d like

I don't know what to say I can't feel it

Fervent attention, welcome, cute jealousy, go ahead

Stringed puppets, no thanks, with my song I’ll build my future

Yes gimme that

Walk like a majestic lion, eyes glinting with so much desire

Pour more out, gasoline on fire, fly again, rising through the flames

Don’t forget my pointe shoes I left behind, what more must be said

Don’t underestimate the path I’ve walked

I go to ride till I die die

I’ll climb higher, top of the world I itched for

No biggie if I were to fall, I’m antifragile antifragile

Right now I’m on my way, toss away your fairy tale

Now you know my name

I’m antifragile antifragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile fragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile fragile

Antifragile antifragile

We can break it baby

Rock it twist it lock it baby

All I know is you can’t chain me

‘Cause I’m gonna break out gonna gonna break out out

We can break it baby

Rock it twist it lock it baby

All I know is you can’t chain me

'Cause I’m gonna break out gonna gonna break out out

I’ll climb higher, top of the world I itched for

No biggie if I were to fall, I’m antifragile antifragile

Right now I’m on my way, toss away your fairy tale

Now you know my name

I’m antifragile antifragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile fragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile

Anti ti ti ti fragile fragile

Antifragile antifragile
