[English]

In this cold place

Where the snow hasn't melted yet

Leaves that resemble, the cold a-growing, oh, hey

My freezing breath, frozen memories, oh

Oh, where my house has gone

I lost my bearings

Oh, aah, aah (aah, aah)

I'm lost in my dreams, oh, oh

Ooh

...

(Oh, I'm lost in my dreams)

Erase me from here and set me free

...

All I wanted was to fly high (oh-oh-oh)

I can't believe my wings are broken

And fell against the sky, yeah

Oh, will you please take me home?

A flightless feather, oh

My freezing breath, frozen memories

Fearless behavior

It doesn't exist in me anymore

...

(Oh)

...

(Oh-oh)

...

Erase me from here and set me free

All, all I wanted was to fly high (oh-oh-oh)

...

I can't believe

My wings are broken

And fell against the sky, oh

Oh, will you please take me home?

...
