[English]

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da

I'm walkin' in the light of a thousand dead stars

Lookin' up, wonderin' where you are

I wish I woulda known how you felt then

Woulda told you, you don't have to pretend

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other

Play the music and dance like you don't bother

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other (da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da)

I wanna see a show with the Chili Peppers

Feel my chest, bright as L.A. weather

I wanna hug my friends 'til we stuck together

It's our time now, it won't last forever

I wanna surf on the sea of chaos

Learn how to see all the layers

Follow the light, never look back, hear my prayer

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other

Play the music and dance like you don't bother

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other (da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da)

Go lose yourself, don't lose

Go lose yourself, don't lose

Play the music (just play the music, yeah)

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other

Play the music and dance like you don't bother

Go lose yourself, don't lose, don't lose each other

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da (hey, hey, hey)

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da (hey, hey, ooh)

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da

Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da
