[English]

It was just two lovers, sittin' in the car, listening to Blonde

Fallin' for each other, pink and orange skies, feelin' super childish

No Donald Glover, missed call from my mother

Like, "Where you at tonight?" Got no alibi

I was all alone with the love of my life

She's got glitter for skin, my radiant beam in the night

I don't need no light to see you

Shine

It's your golden hour (oh-ooh-oh)

You slow down time

In your golden hour (oh-ooh-oh)

We were just two lovers, feet up on the dash, drivin' nowhere fast

Burnin' through the summer, radio on blast, make the moment last

She got solar power, minutes feel like hours

She knew she was the baddest, can you even imagine

Fallin' like I did for the love of my life?

She's got glow on her face, a glorious look in her eyes

My angel of light

I was all alone with the love of my life

She's got glitter for skin, my radiant beam in the night

I don't need no light to see you

Shine

It's your golden hour (oh-ooh-oh)

You slow down time

In your golden hour (oh-ooh-oh)
