[English]

Ho ho ho ho ho

Ho ho ho ho ho

Ho ho ho ho

Ho ho ho ho ho

Can you hear me hey ho!

Can you feel me hey ho!

Touch me I'm here hey ho!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho

Please answer me hey ho

Just a sign will be enough hey ho!

Can you see me hey ho!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho

It's been a long time, down by your window

I call in vain but no one answers

Just give a sign to show that you're there

Ho yé ho ho ho ho ho

It's already been two hours down by your place

I shout your name but no one hears me, just a sign will be enough

Look down ho! See who's here

Ho ho ho ho

Can you hear me hey ho!

Can you feel me hey ho!

Touch me I'm here hey ho!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho

Please answer me hey ho

Just a sign will be enough hey ho!

Can you see me hey ho!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho

I know you're there but you can't hear

That down by your place I'm calling but you don't answer

I know you're there, but you can't hear

That down by your place I'm calling

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me?

Just a sign will be enough, please answer me

Can you see me?

Because down by your place I'm pacing

Can you see me?

Tell me

Can you hear me hey ho!

Can you feel me hey ho!

Touch me I'm here hey ho!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho

Please answer me hey ho

Just a sign will be enough hey ho!

Can you see me hey ho!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho

The only thing I'm waiting for,

Is just for you to come down

I've been waiting too long

I'm starting to lose patience

I learned that you liked this

To keep guys like me hanging

And the one who persists

It will be him that you choose

Can you hear me hey ho!

Can you feel me hey ho!

Touch me I'm here hey ho!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho

Please answer me hey ho

Just a sign will be enough hey ho!

Can you see me hey ho!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho

Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

Ça fait longtemps, en bas de ta fenêtre

J'appelle vainement mais personne ne répond

Fais juste un signe pour montrer que t'es là

Déjà deux heures qu'en bas de chez toi

La seule chose que j'attends,

C'est juste que tu descendes

Trop longtemps que j'attends

Je commence à perdre patience

J'ai appris que tu aimais ça

Faire languir tous les mecs comme moi

Et celui qui s'acharnera

Ce sera lui que tu choisiras

Est-ce que tu m'entends hey ho!

Est-ce que tu me sens hey ho!

Touche moi je suis là hey ho!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho

S'il te plais réponds moi hey ho

Un geste suffira hey ho!

Est-ce que tu m'aperçois hey ho!

Ho ho ho ho ho ho

Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
