[English]

The blues of the sky divide the watercolor scene in two

In front of my eyes, I can see the horizon stretching

Out and through the nights and the cold dew

Cicadas alive ignite across the pavement's burning hues

Neither a sigh, never a cry would ever fall from you

While following fate, our time ticks away

In spite of the days, I kept to your pace that were just so dazzling

At the end of tomorrow will we be you and me?

Eternally, blue will spread its wings

Eternally, blue is flying free

Soaring through the prayers and all the pretty lies

I'm reaching out a hand but never seem to find you

Something like love in a dance down the cheeks

A colorful pain in the following of grief

What is the feeling?

The words that tie a curse to cull you

They crawl up my throat in a hate-anew

Tell me, is it really ending?

You whisper in your loneliness

...

The heat on the streets, it muddies up the lazy summer sky

Of you and of me, it had painted an image of an age

Where dreams were still in our bright eyes

The sun and the sea, we shared the very fabric of our lives

But where will we be as days repeat

And ever I change far away from who I'm meant to be?

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

The pain in your eyes that shines on so bright

It echoes the shame of every wound that you hide

Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

To the petals that scatter in the night

To your pride, I wave goodbye

Eternally, blue will spread its wings

Eternally, blue is flying free

Soaring through the prayers and all the pretty lies

I'm reaching out a hand but never seem to find you

Something like love in a dance down the cheeks

A colorful pain in the following of grief

What is the feeling?

The words that tie a curse to call you

They crawl up my throat in a hate-anew

Tell me, is it really ending?

You whisper in your loneliness

The dust of the stars, the beating of your heart

All slip through my fingers out in the galaxy
