[English]

Let's go back to Cherry Valley

Where the wild things grow

Lay a blanket down in the grass

Play your Spanish guitar, straight to my soul

It's right there at the foot of the mountain

Forever changed once you drink from the fountain

If I could do it all again

I'd never leave Heaven

I'd live and die with you

Too high to be true

I'd never let you go

I'd never let you go

I'd never let you go

Wake me up in Cherry Valley

Where the love comes back

Crystal sunrise on the lake

The greatest golden soundtrack

Take me back to Cherry Valley

That's the last time that I was happy, happy

If I could do it all again

I'd never leave Heaven

I'd live and die with you

Too high to be true

I'd never let you go

I'd never let you go

I'd never let you go

Let you go

Oh, I let you go

Ooh, darling, come with me

I'll show you what you wanna see

Darling, come with me

I'll show you what you wanna see

What you wanna see
