[English]

I was born to the night

An insatiable appetite

But you came, showed your light

And I thought I could make it mine

So, I keep chasin' it

I keep chasin' it

I keep chasin' it

I-I-I, I-I-I

Know where you run, go where you go

Lead and I follow, follow

Into the sun, out of the cold

I chase Apollo-pollo

Hit me with your light in the dark

I'd die to be where you are

Into the hollow of

Every little piece of your heart

Oh-oh-oh, show me where you go

And I will follow Apollo

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Oh-woah-oh-oh, Apollo

I wanna be with Apollo

Just take the lead and I'll follow

I wanna be with Apollo

Every little piece of your heart

Lеt me feel that metaphysical high

So nonsensical, to look at you burns my еyes

Hypocritical, we're fire and ice

And I-I-I-I-I

I-I-I, I-I-I

Know where you run, go where you go

Lead and I follow, follow

Into the sun, out of the cold

I chase Apollo-pollo

Hit me with your light in the dark

I'd die to be where you are

Into the hollow of

Every little piece of your heart

Oh-oh-oh, show me where you go

And I will follow Apollo

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Oh-woah-oh-oh, Apollo

I wanna be with Apollo

Just take the lead and I'll follow

I wanna be with Apollo

Every little piece of your heart

And now my shadow on the moon

Is all that I have left of you

I'll just stay this shade of blue

Apollo

Apollo

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Oh-woah-oh-oh, Apollo

Know where you run, go where you go

Lead and I follow, follow

Into the sun, out of the cold

I chase Apollo-pollo

Hit me with your light in the dark

I'd die to be where you are

Into the hollow of

Every little piece of your heart

Oh-oh-oh, show me where you go

And I will follow Apollo

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh

Oh-woah-oh-oh, Apollo

I wanna be with Apollo

Just take the lead and I'll follow

I wanna be with Apollo

Every little piece of your heart

Key Grammar Structures

• I was born to the night

  ➔ Passive voice (past simple)

  ➔ The verb "was born" is a passive form that shows the subject receives the action rather than performs it.

• I keep chasin' it

  ➔ Verb + keep + gerund (present simple)

  ➔ "keep" is followed by the gerund "chasin'" to express a continuous habit: "I keep ""chasin'"" it.

• I will follow Apollo

  ➔ Future simple (will + base verb)

  ➔ "will" + "follow" expresses a decision or promise about the future: "I ""will"" ""follow"" Apollo."

• Let me feel that metaphysical high

  ➔ imperative + let + object + bare infinitive

  ➔ "Let" works as a polite request: ""Let"" me ""feel"" that metaphysical high."

  ➔ colloquial contraction (want to) + infinitive

  ➔ "wanna" = "want to"; the infinitive "be" follows: "I ""wanna"" ""be"" with Apollo."

• Know where you run, go where you go

  ➔ imperative + clause (zero conditional)

  ➔ "Know" and "go" are commands; each is followed by a dependent clause introduced by "where": ""Know"" where you run, ""go"" where you go."

• Hit me with your light in the dark

  ➔ imperative verb + object + prepositional phrase

  ➔ "Hit" is an imperative; "me" is the direct object, followed by the prepositional phrase "with your light in the dark."

• And now my shadow on the moon is all that I have left of you
