[English]

everyone wants

fortune, money, and freedom, but asking you

is not out of the question, I looked at the

moon, I signaled destiny, nothing is in excess, and

I lied so that... it's a leap of faith, you

waited for me, sign below, let him

forgive me, for thinking that this is my

market, in my own way, for the world, not out of

bad faith, and I sleep with the DJ, he

carries my name painted on my chest

I wanted to sleep, they've stolen my sleep

now I'm dreaming
