[English]

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

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

If the sky was falling over us

If the ground below us turned to dust

Would you come to me?

Would you come to me?

(One, two, three, four)

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

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

If the song it had me overcome

The tremolo can sometimes shake me up

Would you come to me?

Would you come to me?

(One, two, three, four)

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

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

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

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