[English]

His fear is my fear

His anger is my anger

His love is my love

His blood is my blood

The flame pierces my brain

Like a lead teddy bear

I keep many things in my heart

That’s why my heart is so heavy

His fear is my fear

His anger is my anger

His love is my love

His blood is my blood

I know very well who I am

Tenderness for coffee

I’m just a lump of sugar

I know the heat melts me

I know how to disappear

When you come is when I leave

His fear is my fear

His anger is my anger

His love is my love

His blood is my blood

The only way to save us is through divine

Intervention

The only way I will be saved is through divine

Intervention

I’ll fuck you till you love me

I’ll fuck you till you love me

I’ll fuck you till you love me

Till you love me

Till you love me

Till you love me

Till you love me

Till you love me

Love me

Till you

Till you love me

I’ll fuck you till you love me

I’ll fuck you till you love me

Love me

Love me

Love me

Love me

Love me

[Spanish]

Seine Angst ist meine Angst

Seine Wut ist meine Wut

Seine Liebe ist meine Liebe

Sein Blut ist mein Blut

Die Flamme dringt in mein Gehirn ein

Wie ein Blei-Teddybär

Ich bewahre viele Dinge in meinem Herzen auf

Deshalb ist mein Herz so schwer

Seine Angst ist meine Angst

Seine Wut ist meine Wut

Seine Liebe ist meine Liebe

Sein Blut ist mein Blut

Yo se muy bien lo que soy

Ternura pa'l café

Solo soy un terrón de azúcar

Sé que me funde el calor

Sé desaparecer

Cuando tú vienes es cuando me voy

Seine Angst ist meine Angst

Seine Wut ist meine Wut

Seine Liebe ist meine Liebe

Sein Blut ist mein Blut

The only way to save us is through divine

Intervention

The only way I will be saved is through divine

Intervention

I'll fuck you till you love me

Till you love me

Till you love me

Till you love me

Till you love me

Till you love me
