[English]

There may be some but none like you

We'll be understood 'cause you're the truth

Give me a few more off to do

Call is conquering the love for you

I keep my eyes wide open so I

Can see there's a rain drop falling away

But if your words get suddenly blurred

You 'member that the truth is always worth, seeing

You're like a firebird in the sky

Shining for a challenger in the night

Just like a firebird is your heart

Keeps me warm and anchory in the stars

You're like a firebird

You're like a firebird

Courageous wings make things go far

Lingering solitude can rip them off

So let the wind cross your ash thoughts

Giving you the strength to carry on

I keep my eyes wide open so I

Can see there's a rain drop falling away

But if your words get suddenly blurred

You 'member that the truth is always worth, seeing

You're like a firebird in the sky

Shining for a challenger in the night

Just like a firebird is your heart

Keeps me warm and anchory in the stars

You're like a firebird

You're like a firebird

You're like a firebird

You're like a firebird

You're like

...

You're like

...
