[English]

What should I do to never fall in love again?

One stupid question with no answer in the end

I try to stay out of the same affection's chain,

But I find myself fallin' in love again,

And I, tried to reset my mind

Change what I feel inside

You change the winter into summertime

I, can't with those butterflies

Who cares if love is blind

Now that you came around, can't live without you

You make my heart go dum dum

Dum dum dum

...

Do you believe in things like "planets have aligned"

In that perfection when two destinies collide

U lose control and then emotions multiply

Can try to run, but it s too late to hide

And I, tried to reset my mind

Change what I feel inside

You change the winter into summertime

I, can't with those butterflies

Who cares if love is blind

Now that you came around, can't live without you

You make my heart go dum dum

Dum dum dum

...

Dum dum dum

...
