[English]

I'm counting the time just right

And I want to be by your side

I know exactly where I'm headed

I'm searching for the results

I don't play with the dice

They think they know who I am

...

Slow, slow, slow, we're escaping

I feel, I feel, I feel the heat

Accustomed to them wanting to sink us

They don't float on their own and they throw at those who do

I don't waste my words

Is it because I learned?

Or because I went crazy for her?

With her gaze

In my eyes

Together we see the future

I don't care what they believe

It's us against the world

I want to satisfy my hunger now

I want to drink your blood now

You know I’m not lying if it’s for you

You know I don’t lose if it’s for myself

Slow, slow, slow, we're escaping

I feel, I feel, I feel the heat

...

I invite you into my mind, woman

Since you're always here and I don’t know what to do

I think of you and want to see you again

I remember what happened yesterday

I want your kisses at dawn

I don’t care what could happen

Let my words speak for myself

They dreamed of having you and I disappointed them

...

With her gaze in my eyes

Together we see the future

I don't care what they believe

It's us against the world

They will see

And understand me

When everyone spoke ill of me

She was the only one who didn't believe them

Baby, what am I going to do if they come to see me

And it’ll hurt them inside

Slow, slow

Slow, we're escaping

I feel, I feel

I feel the heat

Slow, slow, slow, we're escaping

I feel, I feel, I feel the heat

...

Slow...
