[English]

Where the blue moon shines

Where the tears melt ice

In a sea of guilt

By the fallen stars

Lonely chimes sing of pain

There's a storm, only love remains

I been stung by a starseed, honey

Shone a love like a lightning, honey

I been hit by a starseed, honey

His love burns like a lightning, honey

I'm right here, I'm a star-crossed lover

I lie here like a starless lover

I'll die here as your phantom lover

Never learn

I never learn
