[English]

I'm so lonely, broken angel

I'm so lonely, listen to my heart

من دوسِت دارم

به چشمِ من، گریه نده

نه، نمیتونم

بدونِ تو، حالم بده

I'm so lonely, broken angel

I'm so lonely, listen to my heart

One and only, broken angel

Come and save me before I fall apart

تو هر جا که باشی، کنارتم

تا آخرش، دیوونتم (اوه)

تو، تو نمیدونی

که جونمی، برگرد پیشم

I'm so lonely, broken angel

I'm so lonely, listen to my heart

One and only, broken angel

Come and save me before I fall apart

لا-لا-لیلی، لا-لا-لیلی، لا-لا-لا، لا-لا

لا-لا-لیلی، لا-لا-لیلی، لا-لا-لا، لا-لا

اوه-اوه-اوه-اوه

I'm so lonely, broken angel

I'm so lonely, listen to my heart

One and only, broken angel

Come and save me before I fall apart

I'm so lonely, broken angel

I'm so lonely, listen to my heart

One and only, broken angel

Come and save me before I fall apart

لا-لا-لیلی، لا-لا-لیلی، لا-لا-لا، لا-لا

لا-لا-لیلی، لا-لا-لیلی، لا-لا-لا، لا-لا
