[English]

I lived a lot of different lives

Been different people many times

I lived my life in bitterness

And filled my heart with emptiness

...

Now I see, I see it for the first time

There is no crime in being kind

Not everyone is out to screw you over

Maybe, yeah, just maybe, they just want to get to know you

...

And now the time is here

Baby, you don't have to live your life in fear

The sky is clear

It's clear of fear

Don't wanna live in fear and loathing

I wanna feel like I am floating

Instead of constantly exploding

In fear and loathing

...

Got different people inside my head

I wonder which one that they like best

I'm done with tryna have it all

And ending up with not much at all

...

And now the time is here

Baby, you don't have to live your life in fear

The sky is clear

It's clear of fear

All clear

Don't wanna live in fear and loathing

I wanna feel like I am floating

Instead of constantly exploding

In fear and loathing

...

And when the time comes along

And the lights run out

...

I know a light will burn on

When they blow me out

...

Don't wanna live in fear and loathing

I wanna feel like I am floating

Instead of constantly exploding

In fear and loathing

I wanna be completely weightless

I wanna touch the edge of greatness

Don't wanna be completely faithless

Completely faithless

...

When the time comes around

...

When the lights will go out

When the time comes around

When the lights, they go out

...

Ποθώ γλυκές νεράιδες νa δω

Κaι aπό κορμί ξωτικό μaγικό χορό

Νa χaϊδέψω μaύρa μaλλιά

Νa φιλήσω χείλη μελιά

Ένa τρaγούδι aπ' τ' Aλγέρι

Τρaγούδι του κaμηλιέρη

Σ' ενa γλυκό aφρικάνικο σκοπό
