[English]

In and out a beat is tripping

Through the sun a scale is lifting up up up

Round and round the wheels are turning

Silver in my soul is dripping out out out

I fall in through the seam of heaven's dream

I taste the vow

I want to be loved

I want to be loved

I want to be loved

Just send an angel from above

I want to be loved

Back and forth I need to hold you

Destiny's desire enfolds my heart heart heart heart

I fall in through the dream of heaven's seam

I taste the vow

I want to be loved

I want to be loved

I want to be loved

Just send an angel from above

To look in my eyes

And kiss me in wonder

I want to be loved

Just send an angel from above

I want to be loved

I want to be loved

I want to be loved

Just send an angel from above

To look in my eyes

And kiss me in wonder

I want to be loved

You are an angel from above

I want to be loved

Crimson tears

I want to be loved

Sentient years

I want to be loved

Life expires

I want to be loved

Dreams on fire

I want to be loved
