[English]

I sense there's something in the wind

That feels like tragedy's at hand

And though I'd like to stand by him

Can't shake this feeling that I have

The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice my feelings for him?

And will he see how much he means to me?

I think it's not to be

What will become of me, dear friend?

Where will my actions lead us then?

Although I'd like to join the crowd

In their enthusiastic cloud

Try as I may, it doesn't last

And will we ever end up together?

No, I think not, it's never to become

For I am not the one

My dearest friend, if you don't mind

I'd like to join you by your side

Where we can gaze into the stars

And sit together now and forever

For it is plain as anyone can see

We're simply meant to be
