[English]

On a long lost night, on my own

Oh, she comes to me, so all alone

I offer shelter, safe from the night

She says nothin', just turns out the light

(She said) all I want from you is everything

Bury all my love beneath the fever tree

(She said) all I want from you is everything

Bury all my love beneath the fever tree

Between the shadows and circumstance

Blood on the flowers, tears in the glass

She's gone tomorrow, no sun today

I swallow all of this, and try to walk away

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, hey-yeah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, yeah-yeah

...

You got the hammer, you got the nails

I give you both my hands, leave me locked in jail

I'm just a prisoner, you say that I am free

To spend the rest of my days beneath the fever tree

Sing for sorrow, sing for me

Hang my heart out on the fever tree

Sing for sorrow, sing for free

Hang my heart out on the fever tree

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, hey-yeah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah, hey-yeah
